bountiful basket
A delightful alternative to a
seasonal favorite.
One of the most ordered designs in flower shops across the country
during the this time of year is simply “a basket of spring or summer
flowers.” While this may seem like a straightforward request, it doesn’t
have to be the same old mix of traditional flowers in a wicker basket
that’s been popular for decades.
Begin with a trend-forward striped ceramic pot, and fashion a few stems
of foxtail fern (Asparagus densiflorus ‘Myersii’) into a faux handle.
Add a bit of punch on the sides with two quick satin bows, then cover
your mechanics with more foxtail fern and arrange your choice of fresh
flowers to coordinate with the colors in the pot.
MATERIALS: Foxtail fern, lilies and Hypericum from local
wholesaler; roses from Golden Flowers; Striped Azalea Pot from Summer
Collection S3 from Pots Company.
