Description
This is a tall artificial bouquet in cream, 104cm tall and 40cm across, so it fills a floor vase the way a florist's armful would. Open, poppy-like heads and closed buds rise on long, slender stems over a full hydrangea-style cluster, a spiky chrysanthemum-style bloom, a single deeper-toned dahlia-style flower and a trailing spray of small blossoms, threaded through with long, narrow leaves. It arrives wrapped in paper and tied with a ribbon, and because the flowers are artificial they need no water and will not wilt. At 0.46KG it is light enough to lift, move and rearrange without effort.
Its height makes it a floor-vase arrangement rather than a table posy. Stand it in a tall, heavy vase in a hallway, beside a fireplace or in the corner of a living room, where it gives the look of an armful of flowers with no stems to replace. At 40cm across it spreads wide, so give it room on either side rather than a narrow shelf. The cream heads and muted foliage sit easily with natural wood, linen and stone, and suit a calm bedroom or a dining room where you want flowers all year.
The bouquet is made mostly of polyester, with iron and polyethylene making up the rest, and the wrap is paper. Before use, the maker asks that the stems be trimmed and folded into place, so you can shape the arrangement to the height and spread of your vase. Handle it gently, as the leaves and flowerheads can break with rough handling. Keep the paper wrap and ribbon if you are giving it as a present, or put them aside and let the bare stems show. For the fullest shape, angle the tall budded stems outwards and let the hydrangea-style cluster sit low at the rim of a wide stoneware floor vase.
