Faith & Flowers - October 2020

A different colour for Christmas
Last Christmas I was lucky enough to be in charge of flowers at
Christmas in the church. My theme had been very traditional, red
and green, but I was unable to get the flowers at a price that
suited. Fortunately, orange flowers were very cheap, so I decided
to interpret We Three Kings instead. I sprayed alliums and old
lotus heads I had saved and to keep costs down added satsumas
and gold chocolate coins.
It was terrific fun to do and very well received by the
congregation. So, I am now going to use Christmas Carols as my
inspiration and this year I will be attempting Hark the Herald
Angels Sing.
