Barbarella

Two curvaceous vases, one inside the other, hold a voluptuous bouquet. Tightly tied stems erupt into a foamy extravagance of "Pink Donna" and "Aicardi" carnations and "Paprika" red achillea. White satin ribbon has been laced over the top.

Carnations are widely available as cut flowers - so much so, that some snobbish designers reject them as unfashionable! The Flowers & Plants Association's Sensuality images show that carnations can be the most stylish flower - when used with imagination and flair.
