Flower Arrangement

          Last Friday 17.5.2013 my friend coaxed me into entering a flower arrangement competition. I ain't an expert in flower arrangement. I can do simple arrangements which I usually do during Christmas. I was to do an arrangement with artificial flowers. I learnt to do flower arrangement from my mum. During my school days I used to follow Ama to church to arrange fresh flowers for the alter and hence picked up the art of flower arrangement. 

 



        
 So off I went to the pottery shop near my house where they sell all kinds of flower pots, vases, candles, decorations for the house, miniature fountains, porcelain figurines, all floral arrangement essentials etc etc. With a little help from the florist, Pauline who is also a friend of mine, we selected the flowers and fillers for the arrangement. I told her that I wanted to do a dining table arrangement with candles at the center. With Pauline's guidance I managed to do this flower arrangement which consists of white tulips, liatris, berries and fillers. On the 17.5.2013, I entered the competition and guess what.....was awarded the 1st prize for this flower arrangement!
