FRESH AND DRIED MATERIALS

My attention was caught this week by the spectacular blossoms of a corymbia ficifolia, a native of south western Western Australia. This is a popular evergreen street tree and garden ornamental because of the intensity of its flower's colour. These range through cream, pink, red and orange. 

Below is a vibrant orange-flowering corymbia that is in the street opposite our house.


I have made an arrangement in a black ceramic vase, of 'fresh and dried' materials, using the corymbia blossom, agapanthus flowers and the dried stems of agapanthus from last summer.

      Thank you Michael. I really enjoyed making the structure by pinning and glueing the dried stems. The corymbia is wonderful for its colour though it doesn't last particularly well once cut. Regards to you both. Christopher
