This is our final assessment for the module. I did a symmetrical triangle arrangement as we were encouraged to. As this type of arrangement was practised before, it was easier to do this time and i could apply the skills i learnt before, into this assessment.

Plants/materials used:

• Gerbera

• Pompom

• Statice

• Carnations

• Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana'

• Rumohra

• Dracaena godseffiana (Japanese Bamboo leaves)

• Onion grass

• Murraya

• Ribbon

• Basket

Skills used:

• Design measurement

• Cutting

• Multi-use of flower's plastic covering

• Weaving (Onion grass)

• French ribbon

• Curling of ribbon ends

• Spreading of petals

• Stapling of leaves

Process:

Decorate the basket handle by twisting the ribbons around it and add 2 French ribbons to the corners of the handles

1. Insert the tallest Gerbera (height of sponge + width of basket)

2. Insert 2nd Gerbera below

3. Insert 3rd and 4th Gerbera into the left and right side of the previous Gerbera, facing diagonally outwards

4. Insert the 5th Gerbera under the 2nd one, facing upwards

5. Cover the bottom layer of the sponge with Rumohra leaves

6. Place the Carnations next to the Gerberas

7. Cut the smaller Pompom flowers and insert them in between the shorter Gerberas

8. Insert the larger clusters of Pompom flowers amongst the taller Gerberas

9. Cut and insert the Statice around the arrangement to create a 'water drop' effect

10. Insert the small white flowers amongst the Gerbera to fill up the gaps

11. Place the Japanese Bamboo leaves at the side of the arrangement to compliment the green shades of the arrangement

12. Fold the Dracaena fragrans leaves and staple the sides together to stabilise it and insert them at the back of the arrangement. The yellow stripe on their leaves will give the overall arrangement vibrancy.

13. Fill up the remaining gaps in the arrangement with Murraya leaves

14. To add the finishing touch, weave the onion grass to create a design piece. Curve and insert this piece at one side of the arrangement to finish it.

Finally, spray the flowers with water to keep them fresh!

Module reflection: I really enjoyed this module as it teaches me useful skills and opens my mind up to more creative ways to use plants. I will definitely practise making floral arrangements in the future!
