Beautiful pink

made a bunch

I walked around Writtle College. Just behind a tennis court, I found beautiful pink flowers. I do not know the name.

I made a bunch for a next hall, Maddison 2. The filler foliage is Hebe, of course picked them up in the campus.

Red hand tied

Red gorgeous hand tied

With my advice on, my friend tried making hand tied. Though it was just 2nd time, she managed to make a big and gorgeous bouquet.

Velvet celosia and popping out sea holly are making a lovely contrast. Also the green adds absolutely gorgeousness.

Spring colour: Yellow

 Maybe it is only in Spring when I like yellow colours. The colour shines so naturally during March. I also like yellow in daffodil.

• One shown below is given to my flatmate.

How to make a hand tied with just 3 roses.

Flowers are ripping off around Valentine's day. A bouquet is over 50 pounds and one stem of rose cost 5 pounds. How can we be money wise? I advise you to buy just 3 roses at a flower shop. By collecting plants at a park or a garden, you can make a natural hand tied.

You would like red materials for Valentine's day. On February, skimmia and rose hip have a lovely red colour. Just pick them up.

All materials but red roses were collected at Writtle College.

• Rose: 3 stems
• Skimmia: 6 stems
• Rose hip: 3 stems
• Foliage: 6 stems
• Dried foliage: 3 stems

Skimmia japonica 'Rubella'

Rosa Summer wine 'Korizont'

Artemisia absinthium 'Lambrook Mist'
