Color Pairings With Florigene Suntory Flowers- Complimentary Colors!
The Reception to Florigene and Suntory Flowers- Mooncarnations® and Miniature Carnations, Blue Rose Applause® - and BluOcean® Chrysanthemums has been incredible… These Beautiful Flowers in tones of Purple and Blue- have set the Flower World on Fire! Part of the reason is the Natural Color of these Flower Varieties- that are garnered from the Garden Flower World… and ‘transplanted’ (if you will) into Cut Flowers- that are Dynamic, Long Lasting and Show Stopping! The genes from garden plants- like Petunias provide the coloration that has been ‘transplanted’ into these varieties of Carnations, Miniature Carnations, Roses and Chrysanthemums. The other astounding fact- is that when this gene-swapping is done- they remove the genes that are botrytis sensitive and thus- these NEW Flower Varieties are extremely long lasting… I personally have had the Carnations for 21 days or more- the Roses for more than 14 days- and the Chrysanthemums for over a month… so I speak from Experience!
In this week’s video on uBloom.com (You can watch it here) I’ll be create TWO Color Pairing Arrangements- featuring Complimentary Colors- Complimentary colors are ones that are opposite on another on the color wheel… The first arrangement I create contains Purple, Lavender and Yellow Colors- and the other is Blue, Orange and Peach…again- both are complimentary color pairings that are opposite one another on the color wheel!
Complimentary Colors in Lavender, Purple and Yellow- featuring Moonberry® Mini Carnations, Moonaqua® Carnations and Blue Rose Applause® paired with Yellow Rudbeckia- certainly an Exciting Combinations…
Complimentary Colors cause Excitement- (as if these Suntory are not Exciting Enough on their own… ) Pairing the Moonberry® Mini Carnations- and MoonAqua® Carnations, plus Blue Rose Applause® and Coral™ BluOcean® Chrysanthemums with Yellow Flowers…like Yellow Rudbeckia, Bright Sunshine Inspired Sunflowers- and Golden Cocosmia,
The Second Arrangement pairs the BluOcean® Chrysanthemum Varieties Sapphire™ and Jade™- (Jade™ is my all-time favorite in the BluOcean® Chrysanthemums From Suntory Flowers they are incredibly long lasting- and I love the way the blooms get a lighter center as they age- and they become even more Navy Blue in Coloration… they are Amazing! ) … with Orange Zinnias, Tiger Lilies, Orange Snapdragons- and Hypericu… and other orange and peach foliage like Japanese Maple- and Burning Bush… ooo lala !
This week’s show is all about the Color- and I love sharing my passion for color- and the way we can influence emotion- and expand the dynamics of any arrangement by using interesting color combinations… I love arranging with these Beautiful Florigene Suntory Flowers and pairing them with Complimentary colors - You can see for yourself- how the Color Combination- are Truly Exciting… that’s what Complimentary Colors do so well!
