There’s nothing more symbolic of fresh starts than fresh flowers.  Rich hues of plum in the form of ranunculus and calla lilies mix perfectly with winter white drooping parrot tulips, anemones, and silver brunias.  The different layers create a more organic and free flowing feel, and the arrangement receives my favorite, yet unexpected twist by opting out of a traditional vase and using a pewter pitcher instead. After all, a vase is really anything that holds water, right?  In the end, this easy arrangement feels very now and very needed.  Truly, MKR

Ingredients
  1. Flowering Kale
  2. Ranunculus
  3. Calla Lillies
  4. Anemones
  5. Parrot Tulips
  6. Silver Brunia
  7. White Veronica
Instructions
  1. Step One. Fill vessel with room temperature water and begin by placing a large head of flowering kale in the middle of the vase.
  2. Step Two. Once you’ve placed the kale, work your way out, mixing deep plum ranunculus, calla lilies, white and black anemones, and a row of drooping parrot tulips to line the outer edge of the vessel. You can use floral foam if you'd like but as other flowers are added they will help keep the kale centered.
  3. Step Three. Use sprigs of silver brunia to fill in the inevitable holes, which give it a true feeling of winter.
  4. Step Four. Add a few stems of white veronica for added height.
