"Androids"

I saw these “pyramid cubes” in the dollar store. The fun complimentary translucent colors drew my attention to them immediately. Stacked and taped they make dramatic geometric shaped pillars. A layer of carnations frame the top of the pillar. Then a layer of lily grass loops, topped by the larkspur. I perceive them as being futuristic and humanoid looking. The bright colors and strong lines make this an attention getting visual display.

"Surf's Up"

This florascape is a perfect example of  my signature style "over the top simplicity" The colors of raspberry, orange, lemon and lime "sherbet" graduate in sequence which makes the eye follow the arrangement horizontally. Red Heliconia from Costa Rica are accented with sago palm leaves. This might look good in a tropcal bar, a beach party or a luau.
