This was my Mud!!! Floral Art Demonstration at the Rondebosch Flower Club.
I wanted my design to feature mostly growing plants- creating a natural display on the supernatural wreath. The trailing passion fruit plant has been my "pet plant" for just over five months while I was preparing for the demonstration. I could guide and prune the side shoots to perfectly drape down the wreath.I dressed the plant with willow to cover the short guide wood.
The orchid plants were from my design room and each clump actually had 4 plants to create the lush amount of roots.
