Phlox Design

The design [Fig. 89] was made by first putting three blossoms together, sticking one inside the other as for the tower, to form the long side sprays, and afterward arranging three blossoms below the side sprays and one above with their stems meeting at the middle, as they are in [Fig. 89]. On each side of the upper flower was placed a sprig of buds; then the tube part of a blossom was cut off and the petal part fitted in the centre of the design to cover the ends of the other flowers where they met.

The tube parts of three more flowers were cut away, and the petal parts arranged in the position shown in [Fig. 89]. This formed a scattered design quite different from any of the others made of flowers.

Touches of paste on the under part held all the flowers in place. The phlox design is a good one to preserve by pressing.
