During April, a customer asks you to create an arrangement for an invalid friend who must stay at home
for five more days. The invalid friend loves flowers, especially fragrant ones. The amount the customer is
willing to spend on the arrangement for this dear friend is so high that you know you won't be limited in
your choice of flowers. There are no limits given by the customer as to size or style, but the customer
would like the arrangement to include blue-purple and yellow flowers to match the friend's décor. The
customer would also like the arrangement to cheer the friend for at least the remaining five days that the
friend has to stay at home. You begin planning the arrangement by making a list of form, filler, and line
materials, keeping color and fragrance in mind. You check the seasonal availability and vase life of each
item in your reference materials.
Which of the following could be used as line flowers for this arrangement?
A. Gladiolus in pink
B. Gypsophila
C. Delphinium
D. Freesia
I think its C. Delphinium, but I'm not sure... Help!
I am 100% sure
4 years later XD, It is actually D.Freesia Because they are blue & yellow. Hope that helps^^
To determine which of the options could be used as line flowers for this arrangement, let's first understand what line flowers are. Line flowers are typically tall, elongated flowers that help establish the overall shape and structure of an arrangement. They often provide a visual line or guide for the eye to follow.
Now, let's evaluate each of the options provided:
A. Gladiolus in pink: Gladiolus are tall, elegant flowers that can serve as excellent line flowers. However, since the customer specifically requested blue-purple and yellow flowers, pink may not be the desired color.
B. Gypsophila: Gypsophila, commonly known as baby's breath, is not typically used as a line flower. It is more commonly used as a filler flower to add volume and texture to arrangements.
C. Delphinium: Delphinium is a fantastic option for a line flower. They are tall, spiky flowers that come in various shades of blue and purple, making them suitable for this arrangement.
D. Freesia: Freesia, while fragrant and beautiful, is not typically used as a line flower. They have a shorter stem and are better suited as filler flowers or focal points in smaller arrangements.
Based on the characteristics described, both the Gladiolus in pink and the Delphinium could potentially be used as line flowers for this arrangement. However, considering that the customer has requested blue-purple and yellow flowers, the Delphinium would be the better choice as it fits the desired color scheme.
