Florets - Floral Quote - # 105 - by Paula Pryke

"I always think that spring is such a good time for the amateur flower arranger as as the flowers are plentiful, inexpensive and long lasting. They come in a huge range of colours, and are not too challenging. Perhaps because many of them are quite diminutive, they look lovely very simply arranged in small glass vases or jugs."

Paula Pryke - Flowers Every Day Video

This is the third in a series of videos about flower arranging.

In this video Paula Pryke presents her latest book and makes a beautiful spring flower arrangement with daffodils, hyacinths, lilacs and grape hyacinths. 

Paula Pryke introduces herself in the video so I don't need to do that here - all I want to say is that she is one the most famous and respected florists in the world and an amazing teacher.  




Here are the links to the two previous videos:

The first one was called How to Care for Your Flowers presented by the florist Nico de Swert.


The second one was called How to create a Hand Tied Bunch of Flowers presented by gardener, writer and television presenter Sarah Raven.

  I hope you were able to pick up some useful tips!

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you back here very soon.

xoxo Ingrid
