  1. Flower and Foliage Forms Modified by the GA Agriculture Education Curriculum Office July 2006

  2. Why Flower Forms Are Important • Each flower has a specific purpose in a design • Using a variety of forms can provide greater visual interest • Main design shapes • line • form • mass • filler

  3. Line Flowers • Establish the framework of a design • Shape of the flower is usually tall and long with many blooms on each stem • E.g. gladiolus, delphinium, snapdragon, liatris, etc.

  4. Line Foliage • Helps repeat the framework set by line flowers • Creates motion • E.g. scotch broom, eucalyptus, ferns, etc.

  5. Form Flowers • Often used to establish a focal point • Can also be used around the perimeter of a design. • E.g. anthurium, bird of paradise, Easter Lily, orchids, etc.

  6. Form Foliage • Have interesting shapes, color, texture, or patterns • E.g. caladium, croton, monstera, etc.

  7. Mass Flowers • Purpose is to add mass to the arrangement • Solitary flowers with rounded flower heads at the top of a stem • E.g. roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, tulips

  8. Mass Foliage • Add weight and bulk to an arrangement • Efficient at covering mechanics • E.g. leatherleaf, pittosporium, camellia, etc.

  9. Filler Flowers • Usually are systems of branched flowers and stems • Small in size and scale • Used to fill in spaces and accent a design • E.g. baby’s breath, statice, heather, etc.

  10. Filler Foliage • Fills in and accents the design • E.g. plumosa, huckleberry, sprengeri, ivy
