Fountain Grass and Bahia Spathes



Fountain Grass and Bahia Spathes. To keep control of the Fountain Grass, it is helpful to keep the base bundled tightly. If you twist it one way, it will splay outward, and if you twist it the opposite way, it will tighten up.

Twisted Willow Branches and Fresh Flowers

A customer sent us pictures of the gorgeous displays she created with Twisted Willow Branches and fresh flowers. A while back we had a post on combining dried branches with fresh flowers. When using dried branches, you really should keep them dry. To combine them with fresh flowers, the options include using floral tubes, or nesting a smaller vase inside a larger vase. That latter technique was used in these displays. Beautiful!



Note the staggered votives around the base - a great alternative to hanging votives!


Here's a close-up showing the vase containing the fresh flowers and water nested in among the Twisted Willow Branches:
