Indoor Gardening Fresh and Dry Flower Arrangements
IVhen flower arranging is discussed you may hear certain terms that have
no meaning to you, or you may hear familiar words used in new bvays.
SPIKES are the tallest forms used in arranging flowers or dry materials.
They may be the sword-shaped leaves of iris or gladioli; they may be slender
flower stalks or stcms such as cattails, pussy~,illow, lupine, clelphinium, gladioli,
or tall snapdragons. Pointed daylily buds and pointed seed pods can be
the spikes in small arrangements.
BUTTON materials have a round shape. Open flowers such as daisies,
tulips, zinnias, asters, and roses are “button” in form.
Flowers change form in different stages of openness. A number of rose
bud^, or a daylily bud may be used as a spike. However, the open flower of
either is a button. An entire flowering stem of gladiolus is a spike. But a
dark-colored gladiola floret used for a focal point is a button form.
BACKGROUND materials are leaves and branches used to complete an
arrangement of tall or spike materials and round or button materials.
FOCAL POIhlT or CENTER OF IA’TEREST refers to the spot with
the strongest visual attraction in the arrangement. As a rule, it is just above
the ed<ge of the container, and is made up of the largest, the most open, the
brightest, or the darkest-colored flowers. In a good arrangement, your eyes
go to the FOCAL POINT or CENTER OF INTEREST.
The following four words are often referred to as the principles that guide
flower arranging: design, balance, scale, and harmony.
DESIGN is the plan of an arrangement. It embodies your ideas of what
flowers, container, and leaves to combine and how to combine them. Webster
states design is “the arrangement of elements or details which make up
a work of art.”
