Elegance in Simple Flowers

Oasis is the name for a sponge-like plastic
substance that absorbs a large amount of
water, but maintains its shape to form sturdy
base for most arrangements. Tuck tape is water
proof adhesive that keeps the oasis firmly in
place in the floral container.
Before flowers are arranged, all foliage
that might fall below the waterline in the
container should be stripped off Except in the
case of carnations). After oasis is in place,
basic designs in form of triangle, circle sym
metrical or asymmetrical shape can be ar
ranged with few key flowers. Additional
blossoms or foliage can be used to fill in empty
spaces
According to Mr.. Wayne, home arrangers
should also note the following: fresh water,
changed every two days, will keep flowers
fresh longer. Water may be only few inches
deep, but its level should be kept above all
stem ends Faded petals should be trimmed
away to keep the whole arrangement looking
fresh and attractive.

Friends outside asked us what we liked so much about Alaska. That is hard to analyze and explain to people who have never been here but I think one reason is that it is still frontier and one gets a feeling that one is part of history It is still a new land, growing up.
