The Flowers
Florist’s inspiration: Placed over the front door of the Anderson House is a display of white orchids and grey marbled fruits to mirror the pediment relief above the door. For the niches on each side, I wanted to represent spring time in DC. The city comes alive in the spring with an abundance of color and I feel the two displays represent the cold grey winters transitioning into the bright colorful rejuvenation of springtime.
Recipe: For the winter look—white phalenopsis orchids, silver/grey cochin, white hanging amaranthus and pale grey roses. For the wpring look—pincushion protea, green cymbidium orchids, hot pink roses, yellow billy balls and assorted natural moss and succulents.
