As I had an appointment with the master, Zhu Mei’s jet lag didn’t change when she returned from her trip to France. Fortunately, Pippi came and the five of us had classes together.

Teacher Kiki will teach us how to make spiral bouquets in this section. She said that this is the skill of a florist.

Spiral bouquets are a very important basic flower arrangement technique. The flower materials are fixed by the arrangement of rods and stems to support each other. Spiral bouquets are usually hemispherical and can be viewed from multiple sides.

Before arranging flower materials to make a bouquet, you must first match the flowers and arrange them one by one. Hold the flower at the tiger's mouth of your hand, and join with your left hand counterclockwise, keeping one direction. Move the focus up and down to adjust the size of the work, move the focus down to make the work looser, and move it up to make the work more focused. The bundling point should not be too high and the center of the bouquet should not be offset.

The spiral grip is very important and requires more practice: when arranging the bouquet, the flower branches should be grasped together in a spiral shape instead of just grabbing them casually. . The place where the flower branches cross is the binding point. Kiki tells us that this position cannot be changed. This binding point is where the rope will be tied. If it is placed in a vase, that is where the mouth of the vase will be. All leaves below the binding point should be removed to prevent the leaves from rotting in water and affecting the water quality, which will shorten the shelf life of the flowers.

Advantages of using the spiral technique:

Using this technique, the flowers maintain a "supporting and dependent" relationship. You only need to tie the binding points, no need to Any support can remain relatively fixed

The spiral has a clockwise flowing beauty

The spiral technique maintains the gaps between flowers, giving it a fluffy and scattered nature. Beauty

The spiral technique makes the flower stems overlap well at the hand holding point, so you can get more flowers in your hand

After cutting the roots of the bouquet, you can stand directly without assistance

Fill in the color of the flower: dark colors are generally at the bottom and light colors at the top.

Because I am left-handed and right-handed, I did not understand the direction. Teacher Kiki asked me to rework it. I studied it again and basically understood it.

Finally, remember the flowers used today:

Alstroemeria lily

Red-leaf pittosporum

Lisianthus

Multi-headed chrysanthemums

Rowing grass, kidney fern

This is the Austin butterfly
