world. The South African Fynbos
This happy variety of greens, reds, pinks and oranges on a fresh white background is reminiscent of a florist busy at work and the flowers fall to the floor as she works. Life is chaotic and occasionally very disordered but there can be beauty in that too. This would be a pretty design on cushions, curtains and interiors. Summer fresh and cool. Fynbos means fine bush. The largest floral kingdom in the world consisting of 9600 species. The subtle background is the glass effect of the stately and incredible design of a Victorian Green house. What an amazing combination. Proteas, Strelitzia or the crane flower which grows happily in California. Numerous hardy succulents which thrive in the almost desert conditions of the Cape area and some soft sages. All on a background of white, gentle sage or bright statement sunny orange or a cool sky blue. Happy days of loveliness.
