Esprit Bonsai International – August 2019

#101 EspritBonsaiInternational - 77

autumn or even winter arrangements, the proportion

dedicated to water is reduced, taking care however

not to mask it completely: without it there is no life ...

Transparent vases

At this time of year it is also nice to work on arrange-

ments in see-through or coloured vases that contrast

or harmonise more with the green of the foliage and

the colours of the flowers. Coloured containers are

mostly in shades that recall water or the sky. Trans-

parent glass containers offer another idea for seeing

plant material from a different perspective, thus mul-

tiplying the creative possibilities.

So let’s dive in and get creative! �

� Night Flight.
Mitsumata wood, orchid,
Anthurium leaves.

� Milky Way.

Aspidistra flowers, yellow-stained broom

and white lily. Spherical coloured-glass vase.

Arum italicum and asparagus. Cognac bottle.
