Day 2 at Jane Parker

Up early catch the 30 bus, so much easier for a road blind like me, earliest in the class...

Mini Gerbra "Cafe" x 5

Celocia Act Inca x4

Yellow roses x 9

Aspidestra x 1 brunch

Ardlea x 1bruch

Method: 

fFirstly do treatment to Aspidestra (long lasting foliage), fold into 2 and wrap with wire,

continue to group the flower in 2 or 3 flowers with Pittosporum+Aspidestra or Pittosporum+Ardlea(wrap round).

After grouping, choose the center piece of flower to start the "Spiral" grouping, once done wrap up with Jane Packer signature wrapping.

Here you go, my creation for the morning.

Lesson 4. Dome Hand-tied

Ruby Red Roses x 30 

Cordeline Tricolor leaf(with red stripe) x 15

Method: 

Clean up all the leafs on the roses. Place it between the thumb and 2nd finger, start the "Spiral grouping", one stem at a time, keep it to the shape of a dome, always select the bigger bloom of roses for the start, to keep the best roses visible to you, tie up with string after a few roses, then continue with the rest til all roses is used. Once happy with the shape, tie up all the roses, and continue with the leaf, fold both sides of the leaf and left just 3 inch of the leaf showing, leaf to go around the roses. Here is a not so perfect version of mine...:(
