Title: Identifying Cut Flowers and Foliage


1
Identifying Cut Flowers and Foliage
  • Introduction to Floral Design
  • Mrs. Spradling

2
Why is it important to know how to identify
flowers?
  • To know what types of plant materials can be used
    in designs
  • To be familiar with seasonality and availability
    of flowers
  • To be able to visualize how the overall product
    will look when it is finished

3
Classifications of flowers and foliage
  • Flowers and foliage are classified according to
    different shapes/forms
  • We select certain flowers to create a style or
    effect we are trying to achieve (example a tall
    arrangement would use different flowers than a
    small, compact arrangement)

4
Line Flowers and Foliage
  • Are the skeleton of the arrangement
  • Tall, erect spikes of blossoms
  • Add height or width to the design

5
Form Flowers
  • Distinct shapes
  • Accent flowers to create a focal point
  • Never mass these flowers together

6
Mass Flowers and Foliage
  • Single stem
  • One solid, rounded head at the top
  • Add mass to the arrangement

7
Filler Flowers and Foliage
  • Add the finishing touches to an arrangement
  • Small, delicate flowers
  • Use as background to highlight the pattern of the
    larger flowers
