We hope your Good Friday and Easter Sunday like ours was popping with good things, thanksgiving and a thoughtful dose of giving to another person you cared. Blessed fresh week ahead.
Welcome Spring, welcome life
A blushing pink garden.
Cloud flowers II.
Celestial pink nerine dance amongst bursts of starry golden yellow onicidium orchid. As if executing graceful pirouettes on clouds of baby’s breadth, some ascending and others descending from a bed of antiqued pink hydrangea.
Everlasting
I’ve not handled silk flowers for over a decade. More so in recent years, when my flower language is through what are natural and sometimes blending them with dried or preserved pieces.
I agreed to the arrangement; Firstly these were for a pair of “old” college friends - husband gifting the wife while serving his QO having “delivered” their first born safely in Parsons, New York. Secondly, the wife shared previously that she wanted something new to replace her favourite piece “destroyed” by their younger sons. Thirdly, I believe like in brushing up my craft plus I can never resist a challenge.
This is my interpretation of what she had and wants.
For present moments…
A collation of antiqued colour hydrangeas with white lisianthus, mimosa and eucalyptus.

Flourishing Journey
Into the LIGHT, treading through the journeys of many personal stories. This and two other bouquets were expressions of thanks to a trio. Through their specialised contributions, they made these journeys accessible. The end result, a published book by their givers. The latter had converged to present narratives through the written words and the art of collage.
A “King” And “Four Gentlemen”
Inspired by Chinese ink paintings of the peony and “four gentlemen” - chrysanthemum, plum blossom, orchid and bamboo. While the peony is sometimes referred to as the king of flowers, human virtues are thought to be reflected in the natural characteristics of the other four plants.
Our version of gold to honour all mothers. You are our champions, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY. We mixed fresh and preserved blooms such as the cymbidium and onicidium orchids, rose spray, erica pink, pampas as well as ruscus leaves.
A quiet affair of the heart.
Like terms of endearment, the love will go on.
