Summer Flowers with Susanna

The kitchen at Treetops was full of beautiful flowers today because Susanna from Tiger Rose Floral Design was here for our Summer Flowers class.

To start with Susanna showed everyone how to make a hand-tied posy using some lovely pastel flowers, mixed with foliage and rosemary.

Following a variety of ideas, Susanna then showed everyone how to create their arrangement.

Then it was time to choose the flowers .....

Using a bulb bowl filled with oasis, which everyone covered with either ribbon, ivy or foliage, the filling of flowers started .....

Here is Susanna's example, she used rosemary around the edge of her bowl and filled it with shades of lilac, cream and purple. 

Pretty jam jars full of pretty flowers.

Some stunning peachy carnations, peach is a very fashionable colour this season. 

After lunch, Susanna put together a beautiful boxed arrangement with roses and the carnations.

My favourite Peonies, I love them!

Susanna made a tall striking arrangement, with the flowers held in by blossom and foliage stems.

Ivy and clematis montana was wound around the stem of the vase and tucked into a fantastic wreath of yet more peonies.

A real showstopper!

Here are the finished arrangements

Susanna will be back for Christmas Flowers in December.
