The platform between art and horticulture. 

Bloom, cut, repeat

Angelica arrangements While working in the garden yesterday, I had to remove  some Angelica archangelica, a large hardy biennial  that can reach up to 8 feet ( 2.5 metres) tall in height. Its height, the thickness of its stems, and the blooms are all strong characteristics of this plant.  After removing a few flowering stems,  I took them home and threw this together.   If you find making arrangements intimidating then keep it simple. Take a cue from Karl Blossfeldt by focusing on one detail of a plant, and then simply repeat it by arranging in a group of similar vessels.
