endearing basket
Voluminous arrangements emphasizing maximum quantities of lush blossoms
are often requested to honor moms. This European-inspired, mounded

A keepsake vintage-look, basket-style vase in ruby-colored glass
reinforces the traditional interpretation.

from Pajaro Valley Greenhouses; ‘Moondust’ and ‘Moonshadow’ miniature
carnations from Florigene Ltd.; Gerberas and ‘Pink Monarch’ New England
asters from Flores Silvestres S.A.; glass basket from Upper Deck.
