The creative art of floral design as illustrated on the front and back covers1 is achieved through an understanding of spacial design elements and a knowledge of plants materials. The design on the front cover presents a microcosm: the ceramic sphere provides an “earth” from which bursts forth Acer palmatum, Alstroemeria ‘Campfire’, and Rosa ‘Woben Abby’. On the back cover, a contemporary juxtaposition of aluminum wire, bleached matsumata branches, Chlorophytum comosum ‘Vittatum’, Lilium longiflora, Gypsophila, and Dianthus ‘White Sim’ contrast texture, form, and line.
