Heirloom Roses – Summer’s Treat

The Heirloom Rose has always been one of my favorites for flower arrangements. They may look too delicate and worrisome to work with, but you would be pleasantly surprised by how hardy they are . . . and long-lasting.

 The particular variety in this design is called ‘Iceberg’, a hybrid tea-rose, remarkable by its ruffled white petals and yellow eye. As a plant, it’s a climbing rose vine that blooms in the summer months attracting butterflies, gardeners and designers with its beauty and light fragrance. It’s quite the treat creating designs with Iceberg roses. Their vine-like stems are easy to work with allowing for added movement and drama throughout the floral composition and their soft airy blooms bring a delicate touch with lots of bounce – perfect for a romantic bouquet or a dainty cottage design. No need to fuss with Iceberg stems; their natural beauty will do all the work for you!

Flowers, Vegetables & Vines-Summer Flower Centerpiece

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_image src=”https://www.petalsofboca.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/VinesVegetables.jpg” alt=”Flowers, Vegetables & Vines Centerpiece” title_text=”Flowers, Vegetables & Vines – Summer Centerpiece” _builder_version=”4.4.7″][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″ hover_enabled=”0″]

Peek into this summer’s trending centerpiece. Lush and overflowing with organic garden wildness.  An antipodal palette of whites and greens with a splash of warmth represents the charm of summer in this Victorian garden design, featuring golden beets. With their rich apricot tones, these golden beets bring an unusual twist to an otherwise traditional display.  Golden beets tend to be sweeter in taste than traditional red beets.  I prefer them to the traditional red beets in summer floral designs due to their earthy orange tones. I’ve paired them with apricot tone Black Eyed Susan vines, an easy to grow garden favorite.  The blooms are delicate, yet vibrant in tone and evoke the illusion of floating butterflies when applied as an airy vine. Once the blooms age, they fall out leaving delicate green pods that remain attached to the vine introducing a subtle new character to the design. Adding to the overall composition are roses, lisanthus and heleborus, all of which blend seamlessly with the Black-Eyed Susan vines to create a natural wildness in this summer centerpiece. 

On a side note – if you plan growing the rooted Black Eyed Susan vines, give it a tall trellis as an anchor and keep some distance from nearby plants.  It is somewhat aggressive in growth and likes to twine around what’s closest in sight.  Keeping it as an outdoor plant will require less maintenance, although it can be grown indoors with a little extra care.  Good luck and happy rootings this summer.

Plum Tones

With a striking contrast of texture and color, this arrangement is a well-establish crowd pleaser with our clientele in South Florida. We’ve have chosen some of our favorites of the season for this design, featuring magenta scabiosa, fuchsia stock, and gorgeous deep pink roses. Combining scabiosa and roses together with green berries brought a hint of vibrancy and added texture.  Completing this piece was the addition of black cocoplums for a rich intensity to the overall arrangement. Every version of this design is slightly different due to the nature of the berry and plum branches.  Allowing the structure of the branches to lead the direction of the arrangement helps to create a natural flow.

Native to South Florida, the cocoplum is a common garden plant desired for their shiny green and red-tipped leaves, tiny white flowers and edible fruity plums. When it comes to floristry, we love to include the little plum-like fruits from this plant to add character to the arrangement. Whether the fruit is in its early stages as a light-green seed or a fully ripened satin-black plum, they bring the added effect of a beautifully inspired, artistically rendered free-flowing design.

A Sustainable Floral Design, featuring local grown and native products.
