The ladies used a variety of plant material and beautiful flowers including red and white roses, pink, green and red carnations, lilies, gerbera, lisianthus. Foliage used was aspidistra, helibore, ivy, etc. Each did an individual arrangement with two displays with all three ladies arranging at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Norma introduced a staging based on \u2018Imposed\u2019 flower competitions where competitors are given the same box of foliage and flowers. The three ladies then did three entirely different displays with lovely results.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Norma also gave some training in leaf manipulation using aspidistra and helibore leaves making cones, twirls and then incorporating these into her design with red roses and peach carnations.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For the finale another \u2018Imposed\u2019 display was created using stunning white roses, pale green carnations and white lisianthus.
