Bordeaux works through every register of red at once. Crimson roses and gerbera sit against oxblood anthurium and deep burgundy cymbidium orchids, with hydrangea and carnations filling the centre. Red amaranthus trails almost to the pedestal on one side and dyed pampas plumes fan out on the other. It is the densest arrangement in the collection and the most theatrical.
The rose needs little introduction, but the depth of colour here is worth noting: the darkest red roses carry so much pigment that they read closer to black than red in low light, which is exactly why they have been the flower of high drama for centuries.
The cymbidium orchid is the quiet luxury of the piece. Native to the foothills of the Himalayas, it produces a spray of waxy blooms along a single arching stem and will hold them for weeks, long after the roses have gone. The amaranthus, whose name means unfading, does the falling work, breaking the outline and pulling the whole composition downward into something looser than a formal bouquet.

Keep Bordeaux in cool, fresh water and out of direct sun, which will dull the darkest reds toward brown. Change the water every two days and re-cut the roses and gerbera on a slant each time, keeping the water deep for the hollow gerbera stems. Remove any leaves that sit below the waterline, as this arrangement is dense and the water fouls faster than in a lighter piece. Handle the dyed pampas with dry hands and keep it out of the water entirely.
