Hydrangea, also known as Hortensia (Fr) |
I still recall seeing some dried (French) hydrangea arranged massively in the reception room of the late Robert Metzger's design office, when I worked there after having left Tice Alexander. They looked great, even though they were dried. They added a nice softness to the somewhat heavily Biedermeier look of that space.
Michael would get these Chinese wood baskets and put the big hydrangeas, which he always called "hydraneas" in them, for a maximum floral impact, which was great for the magazine stylists and editors. All in a days work! Enjoy! DF *****
