A patriotic arrangement

One of the neat things about doing work for the Skirvin Hilton hotel is that I get a chance to make arrangements for "celebrities." The other day I received a request to do an arrangement for a private gathering for Senator Hillary Clinton, who was in town for a fundraiser event. I wanted the arrangement to a have a subtle patriotic theme so I chose red dahlias & roses, white peonies & hydrangeas, and blue delphiniums. These beautiful flowers are balanced with green aspidistria leaves and hypericum berries.

After a few minutes the final product...

The obligatory 1st post
