Colour and texture - two essentially important elements in floral design. Here, the intricate ginger feathers of unfurling Japanese maple contrast well with what we call ‘a strong leaf’ - bright green, sword-shaped ferns. The grey and plum tones of the hellebores could be dreary on their own, but are lifted by the addition of creamy and citrus yellow Narcissi and the jazzy hyacinths, used low as a filler.
