Wow! I’ve never seen Fritillaria like those! They are amazing!!! 🤩 and very appropriate for a Dutch floral still life. They used Fritillaria often.

Super wow mike! Really,its your first time doing this? You did it better. How to be you😁?

[@BoermaInstituutFlowerSchool]

Haha, thank you! Yes it was actually! But yeah, of course, my experience from other styles of Floral Design carried over into this one, haha. Looking back on this specific work I think there are definitely things I have learned and spots I can improve upon when I will attempt this design style in the future. Again, thank you for your kind words! - Mike

Good way to use pincushion protea.

Thank you! - Mike

[@cosimavonliebenau8317]

I think it’s possible to clear coat the cut fruit with spray lacquer, which is used in food photography.

[@BoermaInstituutFlowerSchool]

Ah, that's an amazing recommendation! Thank you! - Mike

[@cosimavonliebenau8317]
