Abstract floral arrangements, now this is where my art side comes out in my work. Mandy Thomas and Hill's Wholesale Florist
Cattail Reeds are my jam, Monstera, giant aspidistra and braided palms and green roses with some reindeer moss. Super fun design.

Parallel design was fun, trying to keep everything in one line with no bending, not fun, but the arrangement turned out beautifully.

Then a waterfall design, yes, I said waterfall, not Cascading, NEW TREND INCOMING, so get ready. We did this one with 100% foliage. Yall I love the String smilax… the long plumosa fern, starfish fern, umbrella fern… we have to get these

Ms. Dildine learning some magic this summer.

First day of Foliage Manipulation Class Ms. Dildine learned many techniques and ways to cut palm leaves, utilize all greenery based floral designs we scouted out usable items from the Texas A & M gardens, just using trimmings, ideas flowed, and then of course jewelry wire was used to decorate or jazz up a design. I loved the challenge we had this morning, we were given a container that resembled a person and we were challenged to create the “hairstyle“ using what we found and only Greenery… so please meet Backrow Baptist Betty Green… she has a short bob perm and some bouffant bangs and wearing a fascinator hat
