Hiya,
Apart from a carnation, can anyone think of a flower which is pom pom shaped, that is in season in March? I want to add a striking corsage to the hip of my dress that I'm making, which will flow/trail across the front of the dress on a diagonal...(Supposed to include advanced techniques you see and I don't have any! so any help...???!!)

Ranunculus.......and I can't think of anything else (but someone will)

Craspedia?

Little aliums, viburnum opulus, achillea, hydrangea florets, berries/raspberries/blacnerries? carthamus, cotton, scabiosa, small headed celosia, peony, ornithogalum, chrysanths..................cant think of anymore but am sure someone will

You're on fire this morning Ossi....

Have just done a sample buttonhole for a wedding of pipped hyacinths which was a carnation shape (not got a phot though cos she paid for it), it wasn't heavy so that might work.

wowzer! You know your stuff in a way I just never will!! Thank you x

And in particular thank you for the berris idea, my setting is gonna be an enchanted forest and I think raspberries crawling over the logs and up the trees will be so lovely. Gonna have to get my wellies on and go on a hunt!!

Forget the wellies and get to tescos as raspberries dont fruit until late summer !!!!!!!!!!

PS they will probably stain you dress also
