A record of arrangements built around what the season offers — foraged branch, spent seed head, a single impossible bloom. Each piece is made once and never repeated.

Arrangements

Orange dahlias, globe thistle and bells of Ireland in a cobalt vase on a fog-covered ridge
Burgundy and rose chrysanthemums with trailing pepperberry in a silver urn
Sarracenia pitcher plants rising from green dianthus and aspidistra in a pale blue bowl
Leucadendron, blushing bride protea and purple amaranthus on a red lacquered stool
The cobalt vase arrangement seen wide, fog closing over the ridgeline behind it
Burgundy chrysanthemums and pepperberry beneath a sunburst mirror on an olive wall
Pink cactus dahlias and looping lily grass against a warm plaster wall
Boutonnière of magenta vanda orchid, bunny tails and pepperberry on a grey shirt
Butter-yellow poppies, viburnum and ornamental kale in dappled afternoon light
Corsage of pink anthurium, oncidium orchid and looped lily grass pinned to denim overalls
Peach carnations, white dahlias and calla lilies in a tall clear vase
