A couple of weeks ago, Dakota Angel told me that she and her husband were hosting a dinner party for twelve in a week. I was thrilled that she asked me to help with the flowers because I was looking for a way to thank her for the Tina Turner concert and I was incredibly honored that she trusted me with a business dinner. She showed me her green tablecloth and orange runner and she liked this inspiration picture from the October 2008 issue of Florists’ Review:
Off to the San Francisco Flower Mart I go and this is what I came up with:
Materials used: Oncidium orchid, pheasant feathers, cat tails, cymbidium orchids, pincushion protea (Leucospermum), dahlia, rose, lotus pods, strawberry bush, peppers, eucalyptus seeds, reindeer moss, black-bearded wheat, snowball verbena leaves
It wasn't exactly following the inspiration picture, but fortunately Dakota Angel was happy. More photos here.

Goodness! You are SO talented! What a wonderful combination, beautiful and unusual. I love it!
Wow, that's a lovely arrangement! And the colours! They are so earthy!
Greetings from London.
Thank you, relyn and cuban in london! Now that I see the photos, I see all kinds of room for improvement. I just have to remind myself that I'm still learning the trade.
