There are 15 of us in the class, and it is the norm to pay £1 or £1.50 towards a bunch of flowers, so I offered to make an arrangement instead as it will last longer.
I only joined the class a few weeks ago - but have really enjoyed it.
This arrangement is for a dining table centre piece. The foliage I have used is:
holly, ivy (wild and variegated), rosemary, conifer, myrtle, robinta and bottle brush. (I might have missed some out -basically its greenery from the garden and the wild ivy and conifer came from a alley way in the village.)
The flowers are orchids, and deep red spray carnations. I have to say it smells wonderful and Christmassey.
This arrangement is HUGE and covers my range cooker top. It just about fits into a 3ft wide box and it is 18inches deep.
Of course I have blown the budget with all those orchids - but hey - I think it was worth it. Do you?
