Share A Couple of Design Tips, Pretty Please!

I forget the gloves so many times, just have the most interesting hand color,
rather nail color. HaHa, my nail tec knows when I've been hard at work. I custom flowers alot for the home design to match wall paper and what ever color need be. Was a master hair designer for many years so color correcting is second nature here. The color wheel can be your friend.

I have a new question along the lines of this thread.......

How do you wire alstroemeria for corsages?? I have figured out the most bestest perfectest way ever!!

But first I want to hear what you all do.

I run one layer of floral tape around the base of the bloom, then put a wire through the base (calyx), and tape over again. By taping first, it adds strength to the stem. Otherwise the wire may just pull through--alstro has such a delicate stem.
