Stems of Strelitzia stretch the box on our cover

towards the heavens in a gesture of bravado.

Hat Boxes are available as a set of 3 in three

different patterns. Round or Square!

Step 1. Soak Noir foam before placing in a lined Hat Box. Skirt the box

with Magnolia and sprigs of Eriostemon leaves. Place Banksias near

the middle to act as focal flowers then accentuate them with groupings

of Renanthera Orchids at the front and back.

Step 2. Frame the arrangement with Strelitzia and brown Flax to

emphasise vertical lines. Dip a pair of disbud Chrysanthemums in

Floralife® Quick Dip and place towards the back creating a 3D effect.

Step 3. Add Philodendron leaves then cascading Amaranthus for

contrast and to enhance the line at the front. Follow through with Tulips

on the right side for additional form and repetition of colour. Spray with

Floralife® Finishing Touch to lock in moisture.

waiting for the next racing carnival.

Less is more when a design does not crowd the individual beauty of

several species. It could be a thank you or an expression of sympathy

but one of our latest Amazon Urns will complete your arrangement.

Give natives to a lover of the great outdoors.

OASIS® Bio Floral Foam

Step 1. Soak and cut OASIS® Bio Floral Foam

to fit the Amazon Urn. Insert brown Flax

to establish desired height.

Step 2. Add three Banksias in staggered heights

then use Lotus pods to enhance the flow of

their vertical lines. Add a sprig of red

Eucalyptus on the side.

Step 3. Fill in the gaps

with upright Philodendron

leaves for textural contrast.

Add Craspedia for contrasting

form and cut Bark Ribbon

Hearts to 40cm. Curl and wrap

They all stand at 31cm tall or perhaps you’d prefer to spell out someone’s name instead. All letters of the

alphabet are also now available in the same dimensions.

Select from the latest range of OASIS® Floral Foam numerals

to celebrate a special occasion.

Main Arrangement:

Step 1. Soak OASIS® Bio Floral Foam and place in a boat-shaped container. Skirt with sprigs of Magnolia,

Eriostemon and Aspidistra leaves.

Step 2. Cut stems of Roses, Eustoma, Tulips and Celosia and drop in Floralife® Quick Dip before inserting

into foam. Place Roses, Eustoma and Tulips in a traditional radial style. Recess some Celosia globosa for

depth and colour contrast.

Step 3. Use short Leucodendron stems for transition then add Xanadu leaves for visual line and rhythm.

Place complementary stems of Dracaena on the other side and spray with Floralife® Finishing Touch.

Numerals:

Step 1. Wet the numerals before crunching Aluminium wire to the width of the foam. Fluff Tillandsia around

the perimeter of the numeral and use the crunched wire to hold it in place securing with short florist pins.

Step 2. Partially cover the foam with Fern then cut Button Chrysanthemums, Dendrobium Orchids and

sprigs of Geraldton Wax to about 5cm. Dip them in Floralife® Quick Dip before inserting into foam.

Step 3. Add small succulents then attach numerals to the main arrangement with a few thick stems of

Leucadendron or skewers. Spray with Floralife® Finishing Touch.

desired lengths and dip in Floralife® Quick Dip before inserting into the wreath with

one longer Rose stem extending the “hook” shape design.

Step 3. Cut Dendrobium Orchids into several pieces and place amongst the Roses and

Chrysanthemums. Add some Hypericum berries for contrast in form and texture. Enhance the

design with sprigs of Rhipsalis and trailing Vinca over the focal flowers.
