Red sticks were inserted together with two stems of molucella. Various types of foliage including fatsia, leatherleaf fern and croton leaves were used. Beautiful orange roses (High and Magic) and green carnations were added. A single rose and a single carnation were inserted in the tubes attached to the front of the container to complete this design. Two very tall green metal leaves provided the backdrop for this design.
