The language of my floral arrangement "in anticipation of Valentine's Day" is "spoken by" Star Gazer lilies and carnations. Carnations are often a taken-for-granted flower. However, I think they are co-equals here.
I like the way in which these two different types of flowers complement one another--in terms of color, texture, volume and line. In juxtaposition, the straight lines of the lilies become even more apparent, as do the ruffled lines of the carnations.
There's no heart anywhere, but there is plenty of red, which, of all the colors, is perhaps the most passionate and intense. When red is present, something is happening.
