D and I went to a reaffirmation of wedding vows a couple of weeks ago, and it was a wonderful experience. The couple are good friends from our bonsai club, and we've know them for years. They were also on the bonsai trip to Asia last year. It was a quite an experience.
Like everything else, the flowers on the tables at the reception were glorious, and we were lucky enough to win them. The bouquet had many flowers but two intrigued me more than the others. The two were of interest because in their own remarkable quiet way, they added a lot to the overall success of the bouquet.
And I don't know what they are! This is a photo that includes the two I don't know, and the next one is a closer view and one that shows how they quietly make all the difference.
Look at the textures! See how the lower "flower" (I have no idea what else to call it) seems to hold two more flowers upright like arms raised in victory. Also the light green is chartreuse- unusual in bouquets. See how it adds a pow factor?
Then there are those green globe-like berries (again a search for a possible term). They are more quiet than the chartreuse flowers, but they do add an unusual texture for a bouquet. They are foil for all the multi-textured leaves and multi-petaled flowers.
And I haven't even mentioned the serrated red leaves with waxy white, tiny berries!
It's so frustrating! I don't know what any of these plants are.
beautiful arrangement!
