Lovely - are they aspidistra leaves at the back?

Looks amazing I wish i was that artistic :)

That is beautiful.

That's lovely Linda235 :))

Thanks guys.....yes they are Aspidistra leaves Sheilar.

Thats worked really well, looks lovely. Have you enjoyed the classes? I've been thinking about finding somewhere by me, if I ever find time lol.

Very clever, Multi Talented.

Very nice..The roses are a lovely colour.

Very nice:)

Pitty your class will be finishing so soon. I should think the summer will provide you with plenty of flowers to carry on making arrangements on your own :o)

Very beautifuk Linda :))))))

This looks real classy Linda. I love the pale creamy yellow against the dark green.

Very original arrangement Linda really lovely.

It has been great fun Sam....nice people....a bit like GoY.
It is silly really .....the class stops once the plants appear in the garden. In the winter you are limited to what you can get Hywel.The pale yellow roses were lovely Stroller....they kept it simple. Thanks Pixi, Dorjac, Brian, Pimpernel and Sue.

It feels good when you do a class in an art or craft you really wanted to have a go at and it turns out so well Linda.

That is just beautiful.....

Thanks Dotty.......I really enjoy the class Dorjac. It is a nice mix of gardening and painting.

Isn't that simply stunning ... well done, Linda ... :o)

Thanks Shirley...it was our last day today until the autumn.

That's a shame, Linda ... our daughter-in-law dropped out of a floristry apprenticeship halfway through ... poor pay and a six day week! ... :o(

Nice environment Shirley, but you have to be able to pay the bills. Our teacher says the apprentices in companies get all the hard work and the florist takes all the cash.

Being a long term, successful florist is not an easy skill to put into practice as a proprietor. The product is perishable and the business side is tricky. All of the florists round our area have gone, or opened up and not lasted for long. The supermarket's ready made offerings have scuppered them. It is even a problem where to go for wreaths now....donations are the new order.

Hi Dorjac....our teacher doesn't sell flowers, but she is kept very busy in the summer months doing flowers for weddings. She has been doing it for a long time and has built up a good reputation. She takes our class in the winter when things are quiet.
I agree running a florist shop with all its overheads would be very difficult. There are two near me however who seem to do very well.......they sell a better quality of flower that lasts longer!!!!

sorry im late Linda, i really like this arrangement, the cream against the dark foilage is great, well done :o))

It was good fun to do Sandra.......got us thinking out the box. :o)
