I love this time of the year. It’s called spring and represents a whole new botanical journey. The winter is almost over, the sun is gathering strength, the days are getting lighter and new blooms come forth.
Some might see a cymbidium orchid as being a winter bloom but these super strong ancients’ really do belong in many seasons and can be easily incorporated in with the brave early flowering spring.
Let me share a visually interesting textural combination well worth it’s place in any environment.
Things together:
- Container of your choice. I used a French inspired vintage white washed tin container.
- Chicken mess to fill cavity of container. You could use a floral pin holder or frog, but the wire mess is an excellent inexpensive medium in which to hold flowers/foliage in position/place.
- A Cymbidium Orchid spike/stem in a colour desired.
- Several various sized aralia leaves, a few pieces of blue gum.
- Viburnum berries & a few sprigs of Tea-tree or Manuka blossom.
- Should you wish to take this design further into spring - how about a few mini tulips!
