| April 26th, 2002 Circular Bouquet |
|
Materials
 | Small vase |
| Two stems each yellow, pink and purple mums, myrtle (greenery). |
| 1 stem red carnation, purple status |
| 1 block oasis |
This bouquet is composed primarily of mums. It uses standard contrasting colors of yellow, purple and red accents.
The pick mum is new this year.
Instructions
| First take the myrtle and cut into 2 to 3 inch stems. Insert
the stems into the oasis, covering completely. |
| Then take a yellow stalk and separate each flower stem from the
bunch, leaving 1 flower on the long stem. |
| Measure and cut it so that it is equal to the height of the vase
plus about an inch and a half. Insert vertically into the center
of the foam. |
| Now insert 2 yellow stems opposite from each other, horizontal, and
inline with the tall stem. |
| Turn the vase and repeat. You should have effectively
quartered the arrangement. |
| Next take 4 more yellow flowers, place them each at a diagonal half way between the
vertical and horizontal flowers. |
| You've now built the frame of the arrangement. |
| Fill in the frame with yellow, then pink and then purple mums.
Remember to turn the bouquet as you fill. |
| Add accents of red carnations and purple status. |
Note: To add interest to the bouquet remember to cut and insert
the flowers at varying lengths..
