Once you add a few textural foliage like poppy seeds heads, hypericum berries, or rose hips, and a little feathery foliage such as grasses, spanish moss, or the branche of flower blossoms in springtime, the display will come across as nothing short of spectacular. Add an assortment of long or pointed flowers like roses, calla lilies and Lisianthus, followed by adding rounder larger headed flowers like open roses, gerbera Germini or dahlias, in addition to few trailing blooms, such as Amaranthus.
