Elements:

• San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi)

• Three stichtite crystals

• Dried paper daisies (Psilostrophe tagetina)

• White earthenware pot and tray

• White limestone “Zen sand”

This is a towering arrangement! I love it. To me, it is also an arrangement of complements both in color and feel. Being a lover of dried flowers, I was excited to find these beautiful paper daisies on a walk one day. They keep their color and shape so nicely. The stichtite can look almost black to me, but has a radiantly purple hue in the right light - the yellow and purple combo really appealed to me here. In terms of feel, there is an element of solidity with the San Pedro cactus while the paper daisies add in joy and lightness and then the stichtite with their almost hidden vibrance…surprise!
