Cool bouquet

Satiny greeny-white anemones wrapped in furry Stachys leaves make an ideal gift. The blue of the vase complements the soft grey leaves, its curves as tactile as the foliage.

Cutting the stems so that the flowers appear to sit on the rim of the vase is very modern - and avoids straggly stems! Other soft, grey-leaved foliages include sage, artemisia, and santolina.
