White on White Flower Arrangement


White is always a wonderful colour to use in flower arrangements. It is probably mostly associated with summer. It is surprising how many white flowers you can find at this time of year.

In a very large white, vintage bowl I planted white cyclamen, white heather and a green and white variegated ivy.
It is not a practical long term solution as the bowl has no drainage holes.
A short term pure pleasure for the table!

I will later plant them in an outdoor container and the arrangement will, if it stays mild, last for a few months in the garden.


The grey-green leaves of the cyclamens, with their silver markings, are beautiful. A stunning contrast to the snow-white flowers and the reddish-brown stems.

White cyclamens give me winter feelings...I like that so much...but I hope it will take a few months (or a long time) before we have snow :-)!!

Wish you a great Sunday! Lovely greetings, Ingrid

Beautiful arrangement. Here is too cold for cyclamia now, winter is in the door steps. White flowers are always beautiful and elegant. I would love to have fresh flowers arrangement at home every week but they are too expensive in Finland to have every week:)

These are so nice! I especially like the cyclamen.

Lovely Ingrid! What a great idea . . . a living arrangement is better than cut flowers. I love the container too. Have a great Sunday! Carol

Kära Ingrid, så vackert du pyntat. Du får mig att le - jag har precis samma arrangemang i en kruka. Jag lägger ett tjockt lager leca-kulor i botten - det brukar fungera.
Kram Randi

Dear Ingrid, I have white Cyclamen throughout the house in autumn and winter. I love their freshness and their staying power.

Your arrangement looks delightful, teaming the Cyclamen with Heather. I am not over fond of Heathers but the white flowered forms are rather elegant.

Absolutely lovely, Ingrid! I wouldn't have thought of the white cyclamen with the heather but it's so perfect. I have just bought more cyclamen and hope I don't kill them. Thank you for the beautiful inspiration and have a super week. hugs – g
