Flower Fizz is a purple arrangement with a deliberate argument running through it. Lilac hydrangea heads mass across the centre and right, violet delphinium spikes rise tall at the back, and lilac carnations and purple chrysanthemum balls fill everything between. Left alone it would be a soft, coherent piece.
The orange is what stops that happening. Two bright orange gerbera daisies open at the centre left, a ruffled orange celosia sits directly beneath them with its brain-like folds, and a yellow-orange calla lily curves out low on the left. A large orange anthurium sits at the bottom right, and a copper cymbidium orchid spray arches over the top in a bronze that belongs to neither colour family.
Delphinium supplies the height and the near-black note: one spike at the back is so deeply pigmented it reads almost as a shadow, which gives the arrangement depth that lilac alone could not. Peach roses and carnations sit at the left edge as a transition between the two temperatures, and a small bird of paradise pushes out at the very top left.
A dark purple monstera leaf, painted and glossy, folds out on the right and closes the composition. Wrapped in a printed pastel paper and set in a cream Amicis box, it suits birthdays, congratulations and gifting for someone who likes colour that has been thought about rather than colour that simply matches.
Hydrangea and delphinium are the heavy drinkers here and should be topped up daily in a warm room. The cymbidium orchid and the painted monstera leaf will both outlast everything else by a wide margin. Celosia holds unusually well for something that looks so soft and can be dried in place once the arrangement is past its best. Keep it out of direct sun, which dulls lilac faster than any other colour, and away from the air conditioning.

This is a thirsty arrangement, so keep the vase generously filled. The Roses and Hydrangea drink heavily, and the Hydrangea in particular takes up water through its petals as much as its stem, so a light mist on a wilting head will often revive it. Give the woody Allium and Bird of Paradise stems a fresh diagonal cut to keep them drawing freely, and handle the hollow Delphinium and the soft Calla Lily stems gently, as they bruise and bend more easily than the rest. Strip any foliage that would sit below the waterline to keep the water clean for the Gerbera and Sunflower, whose stems tend to cloud it quickly. Keep the whole arrangement out of direct sun and away from draughts or ripening fruit, and the Carnation and Anthurium will reward you by carrying the display long after the more delicate blooms have had their moment.
