- An SOS has been received from Catherine urgently wanting advice on what other flowers she could put with her favourite, orange Waratahs. The design requested is to be tall and glow like orange, actually to reside on her brick fireplace mantel. She wasn’t sure what flowers would best work in the design and could I help. I am always here to help!
Catherine and I have chatted and this is what we have come up with and I’m here to share how easy it is to create a design using all of the above into a tall slender arrangement.
As a tip from me, sometimes it’s best to stick with the same colour-way and family of flowers. Waratahs originated in South Africa but can also be found in Australia. The reds grown there are gloriously large and waxy and stand out like beacons of delight. South Africa is also the home to Leucadendrons and Pincushion Protea, so as indicated, best to stick with these lovely floral cousins.
To add another visual interest, I’m teaming them up with lush round orange rosehips, and a little Salal
foliage to balance out all the orange.
Things to gather -
- Tall terracotta container or similar. I felt that because Catherine had a brick fireplace, that it would be most in keeping to bring the bricky clay colourings to connect in with the bricks.
- 2 x pieces of Salal
- 4 or 5 Leucadendron
- 5 orange Waratahs
- 4 or 5 Pincushion Proteas
- 2 pieces of orange Rosehip Berries
- 2 pieces of Twisty Willow. This will give additional height and give the design movement.

So interesting to learn about the flowers of South Africa. I have a floral friend whose favorite color in flowers is orange. They really are impressive!
Oh wow!!! How wonderful is that Astar...you lovely lady you...❤ Coming into Autumn and then winter this would be a masterpiece to place in a place everyone sees it...thanks a mill...
Absolutely Lovely! I love it. Thank your for sharing how to make these beautiful arrangements.
It's all my pleasure. If I'm impressing, then this is good... no... Great.
Spectacular ! 🦋🤩
Wow! It is a fire all its own! 🔥 Very well done!!! And I do absolutely love your kitchen! I can really feel the clean, fresh energy in there 🌸 You’re a very inspiring person, Astar! I hope you know that 🙏🏻
Jesse, you are too kind. I'm told often that I'm a bit OCD when it comes to neat clean & and tidy, BUT you can't work in a mess! When I started this journey into the world of teaching via TH-cam, it seemed the right place to inspire others. That's my goal above & beyond anything. Very warm regards Astar
PS: Our autumn starts this week & the fall colours will be visual treat - not that Auckland with its sub-tropical climate offers me much. The persimmon hang in dark green clumps...
Beautiful Astar 🌻
So lovely Astar! As usual, another beautiful arrangement 🏵🌿
Beautiful display Astar. Love the sunset colors.
Great to have you back. Obviously your studio is still out of action
THE STUDIO!!! It's all a big annoyance but life must go on. Soon they will start on the kitchen and floor repairs and I'll be forced to move to another place. Mess, mess, mess everywhere I look! How could something that happened 24th October last year take so so so long? Kind regards Astar
Hey Astar I’m in love with this! Do you think it would work in the black vase? Thanks Kathy 😊
