Twin Towers

Cineraria foliage - soft and silvery - provides the foundations for this stately pair of arrangements. Topped with a ring of dark cotoneaster leaves, then capped with a shock of red hypericum berries whose colour is reflected in bowls of crab apples. The display is beautiful and striking, yet uses only foliage - a much underrated ingredient of arrangements. Stachys lanata (lamb's ears), Kochia, and Artemisia also have soft silvery, furry leaves.
