My Creative Workbook

Christine de Beer - effortless floral craftsman

So far so green

To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,

To throw a perfume on the violet,

To smooth the ice, or add another hue

Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light

To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,

Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.

From Shakespeare's King John (1595) Act IV. Sc. 2, spoken by Salisbury

These are the most perfect miniature avocado green arum lilies,

Beautiful, just as they are.

They need absolutely nothing more.

Except maybe for an admirer…

…or two!
