An interesting treatment with these beautiful pink anthurium is the design on the left. The flowers are in a flat vertical square plastic container. Two of the anthurium are submerged below the surface of the water, and their stems have been bent upward, pointing up and out of the water. The three remaining anthurium are staggered, one above the other.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oncidium spray orchids make the arrangement on the right dainty and airy. Three of them have been inserted in the ends of bamboo stems which have been filled with water. Near the base of the arrangement is a paphiopedilum orchid, just above the glass globe container.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Three Strelitzia Birds of Paradise comprise a strong line in this arrangement, and gain the focus of your attention. Thin rods add supportive lines to balance them. At the base of the arrangement we have fruited eucalyptus on the left, and on the right, a huge leaf of Philodendron solloum
