Long and Low or Double-Ended Triangle Arrangement
For this project you will need the following plant materials: seven or eight pink carnations, nine purple liatris,
sixteen yellow daisies, solidago or baby’s breath, leather leaf, and a second green foliage with a different
texture than the leather leaf. You will also need a double utility bowl, one block of wet fl oral foam, anchor
tape, water, scissors, a fl oral knife, and two coordinating pillar candles (optional).
step-by-step
The leaf placement will establish the height, width, and
length of the double-ended triangle arrangement.

Staying within the parameters set by the beginning of
the greens, complete greening the arrangement with
leather leaf and the second greenery.

Place the fully-soaked floral foam in the utility bowl and
secure with anchor tape. If you are using pillar candles,
insert them before inserting any greens or flowers. The
candles should be inserted first or the stems of the plant
materials will interfere with the base of the candles.
