Carmine layers pink at full saturation. Fuchsia hydrangea and gerbera form the body, chrysanthemum pompons in lilac and rose fill between them, and a single protea sits slightly off centre as the anchor. Cymbidium orchids arch out to the right, copper anthurium picks up the tone of the box itself, and pale eremurus spires lift the whole thing at the back.
The protea is the oldest flower family represented in this collection, with a fossil record going back some three hundred million years, and it is named after Proteus, the Greek sea god who could change his shape at will. What looks like a single large bloom is in fact a tight head of many small flowers surrounded by stiff bracts. It dries perfectly and can be kept long after everything around it has gone.
The gerbera is the opposite kind of stem: entirely about the face of the flower, and one of the few blooms that reads as a clean circle of colour. Its hollow stem is the trade-off, and it is always the first element of an arrangement to need attention.

Keep Carmine in cool, fresh water, out of direct sun and away from any heat source. The gerbera stems are hollow and prone to bending at the neck, so keep the water deep for them and re-cut on a sharp slant every two days. The hydrangea drinks through its petals as much as its stem, so mist the head lightly when you change the water. Once the fresh stems are past their best, lift the protea out, strip its lower leaves and leave it somewhere dry and airy to keep as a dried stem.
