Newport Flower Show 2021

 

For the 2021 season Liz was very pleased to take home bronze at the “Back in Bloom” Newport Flower Show. Liz was assigned to be Entry 2 of 4 for the “Crescent” fresh floral design class. She used the white snapdragon and spiral eucalyptus greenery to accent the curve of the crescent moon while also artfully using the rainbow of the “unseen” color spectrum to fill in the rest of the moon shape.
