A big "Thank you !" to the Committee of the SAFAS Club in Busby for their welcome and their hospitality last Tuesday.
I demonstrated some designs to start off the club's season. Hope the raffle winners enjoyed their arrangements 🤞
Smashing sandwiches and cakes as a special treat at the end - thank you, ladies ! 🥪🍰🧁🍪☕️
Looking forward to the designs over the coming months.
If anyone would like to attend or enquire on membership, just let me know 🌺❤️
I have included pictures below, each inspired by lines in Keats' poem :
"Days of mists..." (Parallel design with alliums, scabiosa, bunny tails, p***y willow, eucalyptus & silver grasses).
"Drowsed with the fume of poppies" (Linear symmetrical design in red/black/gold with poppy seed heads, "Tacazzi" magenta roses, black pampas grass, crimson antirrhinums, gold lotus seed heads, black mitsumata sticks, ruscus foliage)
"To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core" (Symmetrical basket display with coral roses, purple lisianthus, red solidago, purple trachelium, cypress, leather leaf & pumpkins).
"While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue" (Linear horizontal design using bleached mitsumata sticks, coral dahlias, white alliums, pink charmelias, ruscus & cream midelino sticks).
"And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease" (Triangular symmetrical arrangement with mini sunflowers "Sonja", "Peach Avalanche" roses, Anigoz "Gold Fever" kangaroo paw, solidago, antirrhinum "Potomac orange" snapdragons, cypress, ruscus.
