Today' effort is one of several created each Monday to place in the lobbies of offices, usually trade associations or law firms in downtown DC. This one features proteas, the unusual grayish balls of a variety of echtoveria with which we're not familiar(from our personal supplier of weird stems from California) , and big ti-leaves, all high-lighted by the bright yellow calla lilies tipped with red -- again, emphasis on the unusual. The second photo shows a close-up of the center of the design, where visual depth is enhanced by the veritcal lines of the callas. Objective is to develop a touch of tropical mystery recognizing that most viewers are hurrying by anyway and won't have time to study the relations of darks and lights.
