Moss & Bloom is sold as a set of two and behaves more like an installation than a bouquet. Each piece is a sculpted form of live moss that sits on top of a plinth and spills over its edge, so the shape reads as something that grew there rather than something that was placed. Very little colour is used and none of it is warm.
Lime-green anthurium provides the only strong shape in each piece, its spathe turned outward on a long curving stem so it reaches well beyond the moss. Anthurium is native to the rainforests of Colombia and Ecuador, and here its glossy surface is the one thing in the composition that reflects light. Green carnation sits low and frilled, and a green chrysanthemum ball adds a second, denser texture.
The white is used sparingly and deliberately. Small white narcissus open on fine stems at the top of each form, and they carry the only fragrance in the piece. Around them, eryngium heads float on wiry stems in pale grey-green, dark succulent rosettes press into the moss, and spiky tillandsia air plants sit at the edges where the moss thins out.
Because the material is moss rather than cut stems, these hold their look far longer than a fresh arrangement and need almost nothing. They are made for events, retail displays, reception areas and interiors where flowers would be too obvious a gesture. Placed on plinths of different heights, the two pieces read as a single composition across a room.
Moss needs light misting rather than watering, and the two forms should be misted every few days rather than soaked, which would waterlog the base. Kept out of direct sun and away from an air conditioning vent, the moss holds its colour for months. The narcissus and carnation are the only fresh cut stems in the set and can be replaced individually as they go over without disturbing the moss, which is what makes the pieces worth keeping rather than treating as a one-off.
