Golden torch
A simple glass flask holds a tied bouquet
of summer flowers. Golden spikes of foxtail lily (Eremurus) are encircled
by sunshine-yellow yarrow (Achillea) which is in turn sporting a collar
of fluffy brown feathers like a bird's nest. The whole bouquet is
tied with raffia. This contrasted style is very modern- tall stems
against short, flowers grouped together, long thin flowers paired
with flat chunky ones. Other tall flowers to try are snapdragons (Antirrhinum),
astilbe, bells of Ireland (Moluccella) and solidago.
