Ikea Kool: Eriostemon Flower Ring

The other day,

I was introduced to a new flower; the Eriostemon

It’s an Australian native (East coast)

that has a delicate scent of pine,

& the cutest little pinky white 5 star

  petaled flowers.

(it’s really pretty!)

The florist (@Pearsons)

allowed me to fiddle with a piece of Eriostemon.

This stuff is surprisingly pliable.

I fell in love instantly.

In that same instant,

I also realized my new ‘favourite’ flower would

be perfect for a Spring table.

(yes, yes)

So as soon as I got home,

I set about creating a lovely flower ring

for my Ikea candle holder.

Ikea + flowers = Happy Heidi

Thanks to the Eriostemon’s bendiness, & a little floral wire,

I had a Spring arrangement in no time.

(woohoo!)

All I need to do now is think of what to do with the

99.37%

of the bunch, that’s left over.

 (hmm…)
