Tropical materials.
Surfaces of leaves, keeping in mind the shape of the vase, contrast colours.
I couldn't resist making a quick arrangement using a few leaves and a flower from the gardens of the hotel I'm staying in at Bang Tao beach, Phuket. They have a wonderful garden with a lot of plants that I'm not familiar with, but also a few that I know - even lotus flowers!
In this arrangement I have intertwined some thin Spider Lily (Hymenocallis) leaves with the larger leave from a Parakeet flower (Heliconia Psittacorum), and finishing by sticking a red flower through the leave. The flower I have not been able to identify. It has very small flowers coming out one by one from the red conic shape.
