The dried strips of Royal Palm spathe entwined around
a banana stalk and inside a black metal container contrast with fresh African
gerbera and sprigs of fern. |

A black wrought iron stand holds a pair of sea shells.
Black sea corals, anthuriums and asparagus ferns are arranged inside the
shell. |
 |
A gnarled branch of the coral tree leans against an
old bamboo container from Baguio. Red heliconia, Shasta and Yellow daisies,
balanced by two huge leaves of the "Pakpak Lawin," make a charming arrangement. |
 |
A cobalt blue porcelain vase holds a bunch of pink
and white anthuriums, red Acchmea flowers, staghorn fern leaves, and simulated
cherry blossom branches. |
 |
The solid plane of a Bird of Paradise leaf forms a
vivid background for the inflorescence of yucca and bromeliad plants. Unified
by the fresh vigor of young coconut leaves, it stands on three pillars
of black wrought iron, a symbol of masculine strength. |
 |
A beautiful antique jar of the Sung Dynasty makes
a perfect container for an equally old grape vine, Vanda orchids, baby's
breath, and the colorful berries of the mini-plum tree. |
 |
The graceful lines of the pink dracaena branch, plus
the gentle curve of pink anthuriums and caladium leaves, on a white ceramic
suiban, unmistakably convey a feeling of gentle breezes blowing. The orchids
and Spanish moss at the base add some color to the arrangement. |
