Judy Etter, owner of Etter's House of Flowers in Bucyrus, Ohio is busy as a bee working on her design piece....Hmmmmmm Judy, are you whittling? Judy's design, shown below, contains liatris and bear grass in an elegant urn with the graceful touches of vibrant and fragrant Cattleya Orchids.

Talk about art! Mary Cox and Sue Meyer, owners of Floral Gardens, Mansfield, Ohio have been a team for years. Both of these ladies work so well together, I have never seen them separated. Good thing for us! What a remarkable job they did as they tag-teamed this structural design which has movement, parallel systems, waterfall effect and suspension. This design is graced with liatris, kale, Florigene carnations, gerberas, Iris and Tayama foliage. Great job Ladies!

Here and in the photos below, you can see the intensity in the eyes of these thirty ladies of Earth, Wind and Flower Garden Club, Ohio Chapter, and their Sister Club as I was lecturing about Modern Design and showcasing some interior design ideas. They clung to every word ...... then ...... when I offered the Hands-On class, you could see them all flutter through the flowers as faeries in their own gardens. Classes and demonstrations were held for 3 days for both garden clubs and the public with over 50 participants.
