These two basket containers were used as a pair. At first, they were made to interact on the same level.
Making one of the baskets taller somehow changed the dynamic. Does it look better?

Yesterday, I had the chance to visit Maple Grove Nursery’s farm in the beautiful Annapolis Valley, NS. There, I was treated to a smorgasbord of branches. They were everywhere and I kept cutting away. So much wonderful material that we could never find in flower shops! I was so excited that when I got home, I immediately created an arrangement.
Here is the whole arrangement.

The coltsfoot is an invasive species and they grow all over the place! Taking a closer look, we found some have redder stems than others!
The red vs green contrast was something to highlight and so we decided to put some stems in a fish bowl.
