BDT,
I can't master it myself and greatly admire those that can. This is about as good as it gets.

I really like the sinuous stems. What flower is that?

Feedback and advice welcomed.

thanks for your time. The flower is a snowdrop. I was pleasantly surprized to see how the stems got the shape of the bottle sme days after I put the flowers in the bottle. I have now another snowdrops and I can see in the vase how the stems are getting larger every day more. Here you have a sample shot on digital http://eduardtoader.files.wordpress....ot002-copy.jpg

Hi
I posted this on a different thread but I think it belongs here.
