There are many colors and plants that art floristics helps to see in the new perspective. Hortensia is not a boring flower from the Soviet past. Modern breeders brought a variety of plants in shape and color, so that we can collect hydrangea into exquisite bouquets.
Hortensia is familiar with everyone in the form of garden shrubs that can perish harsh Russian winter and require mandatory "insulation measures." And some varieties even specifically dig and transfer winter to utility rooms. But modern breeders today with the help of the latest scientific methods brought a variety of plants in shape and color, so that we can collect hydrangea in the most exquisite and sophisticated bouquets.
On the one hand, even one flower can make a whole bouquet. On the other hand, combining forms and shades, adding other plants, you can get bouquets and compositions of various styles and destination. Hydrangea is great for men's bouquets, will be appropriate in the bride's bunch, banquet tables and halls will be decorated, bring notes of bright fun at the children's holiday and become indispensable in the interior decor in any season.
1 Composition with berries
Floral work in the natural style is quite complex. For their design, vases are very important that should not distract attention from colors, but at the same time may emphasize the naturalness of the composition with their shape.
Plants and materials
White and blue hydrangea, fresh strawberries or other large red berries, rounded vases, vase for berries, floristic foam.
Progress
To perform the composition, you can use a floristic foam or do without it.In the first case, it is necessary to put in the vases suitable sliced pieces of foam, well impregnated with water, and establish the compliance of hydrangea. In the second - just put flowers into the water. Seasonal berries wash and beautifully decompose in a vase.
Hydrangea is a very moisture plant. Her scientific name Hydrangea - translated from Greek means "water vessel". In the form, the seed boxes of hydrangea resemble pitcher. And the key to the success of decorating these colors of the house or office will be a frequent change of water in the vases and the correct use of this flower. Before starting work, be sure to remove all the leaves from the stem and send the flowers well. For this plant should be put in pure cool water. Why not leave the leaves on inflorescences? Through them, the plants evaporate moisture. Hydrangea grows on wet soils, and its leaves perfect this function well. The cut-off hydrangea leaves are rapidly covered, lose a decorative look and will only take the precious moisture in the flower, which will immediately affect the appearance of the bouquet or composition. Moreover, the fully affected hydrangea inflorescences retain their decorative properties and in the dried form. But - without leaves.
