FEBRUARY
INGREDIENTS
Acer palmatum ‘Katsura’ (Japanese maple)
Prunus cerasifera nigra (cherry plum)

NOTES
We love our bouquets to be layered with interesting textures, for the ingredients to qualify not just for being pretty but surprising and sculptural too. Case in point - a ravishing armful of ingredients from the garden in early spring. Sugary blossom, and candy pink berries are counterbalanced by the matt, muddy petals of the hellebores and the scratchy dried skeletons of St John’s wort. A ribbon with a sumptuous sheen enhances the romance.
