March Madness isn't just about basketball!


I'm one of the designers in the first March Madness Battle of the Floral Designers! Round one is currently underway with eight designers from across the US competing in four contests- the winner from each will continue on to the next round. My entry for the first round is pictured above. My competitor in this first round is Hollyhocks Florist and Gifts from St Louis, Mo.

Click Here to view a short video of the designs and cast your vote. The other polls are also open for viewing and voting- join the fun and vote for your favorites!

We all used the same flowers as we created our entries, the container choice was left up to each of us, as long as the completed design could be moved as one unit.

-5 tulips

7 carnations

-5 gerbera daisies

-3 hydrangeas

-7 roses

-5 snapdragons

-3 dendrobium orchids

-1/4 bunch of statice

- 4 types of greens (foliage of choice)

-1 twig type (birch, curly willow, pussy willow, flowering branches

- Colors in your choice

It's a lot of fun going head to head in a competition using our creativity with talented designers from far away. Click on the business links below to view their websites!
