Book readers turn to page 320 for another example of how a few leaves... used in an unexpected way can completely change the personality of a "single flower in a budvase" design.
Roll a green leaf into a cone shape...
Leaving a gap at the tip for water to fill.
Secure the leaf with a sharpened stem.

Fill a small container with water...
Place the leaf deep into the container.
So that the water seeps in and pools in the bottom.
Slip the orchid deep into the leaf with its stem tight down to the bottom of the cone so that it is hydrated in the water.
Add a few rosary vines to the edge...
Glue in blades of grass to add height and sparkling dew drop crystals to finish it off.
