This past weekend brought two flower commissions that was a study in contrast. One a texturally simple and monotonal perspective on succulents and the other a lush arrangement of spring flowers. The spring flower arrangement was a combination of scented geranium, trumpet flower vines, and ligustrum berries from my garden, combined with anemones, roses, and lemon/lime parrot tulips. It was wonderfully fragrant and evocative of spring. The other arrangement was a request for a long lasting arrangement using succulents. I paired several types of aeonium cacti together in a red glazed ceramic box to form a lush arrangement. Green moss surrounds the rosettes of succulents. I liked the succulent arrangement so much that I made one for our living room.
Does it conjure up spring in an English garden?
