During these winter months, the best bouquets are simple ones. Case in point in this collection of Leucadendron. It’s actually three bunches arrange into one larger clump for impact. En masse, most plants known most as filler or for foliage, transform into something spectacular. The Leucadendron here also has enough textures and differing shades that it engages and sustains its visual interest.
People often seem to be daunted when it comes to how to arrange flowers, or what to do with them. This is a great example of how to make a scene sing. Volume, simplicity, and trimmed lower leaves (which serve double purpose for showcasing the lovely red singer of the stems).
I know little to nothing about the Leucadendron genus. The main, and most important, aspect to them is their long and persistent vase life. These have been going for a week strong and show no signs of fatigue, yellowing or mellowing. They would make a great backbone for any bouquet, but why not let them shine and take center stage themselves? Who would deny they are worth it?
