On my online workbook this week: Wrong on the right, for a right

Dear

This week's inspiration is my number 1 rule for summer designing: the warmer the weather the deeper the water.

To give the Dendrobium orchids access to as much water as possible I hung them from the grass frame to hang into the water. But the frame can be really frustrating to build up from nothing.

My trick is to build up small A-frames to create a larger surface to connect around the container. Simply glue a few A-frames, balance them all the way around (see also the picture below) and then connect those with grass snippets. Easy as that!

Enjoy!

Every good wish,

Christine

... and then... the search continues. If you have discovered something wonderful... or not... I would love to hear what kind of floral glue do you use most often so that I can share it with everyone.
