Floral Designer Aster Unites with Bark in Innovative Floral Arrangements and Decor
In a fusion of modern aesthetics and natural elegance, Marginpar's Asters have been taking the graphic design world by storm. These contemporary blooms, known for their vibrant shades of purple and pink, are proving to be a perfect complement to winter and spring arrangements.
The avant-garde graphic design approach showcased in a series of innovative arrangements features Marginpar's Asters as the starring role. Bark, used as a co-star, brings its own narrative to the arrangements, with each variety adding a unique character. Plane tree bark offers smooth, mottled surfaces, birch provides distinctive white and brown striations, and pine bark's furrowed character adds rugged texture.
One of the standout designs is the 'Protected Blossoms', which uses a vase with binding wire and tacker needles. Sanguisorba Red Dream® and Clematis Amazing® Havana take centre stage, with the spiral design highlighting Asters' compact shapes. The Clematis Amazing® Tokyo variety is also a recurring element in these designs, up for the Royal FloraHolland Glazen Tulp award, with voting currently open.
Another intriguing design is the 'Floating Nature Suspended in Bark', featuring two bark sections screwed together, held by coiled wires in a colored wooden board, with glass tubes between them supplying water. Asters, Clematis Amazing® Havana, Clematis Amazing® Tokyo, Scabiosa Dark Cherry Scoop®, Virtuoso® Saura, and Sanguisorba Red Dream® create a suspended, lightweight effect.
The 'Handcrafted Refined Collar' design uses pine bark to create a collar over a pot, with a pot outline traced on the bark and holes drilled, then filled with water. Asters, Chasmanthium Mantis, Clematis Amazing® Kyiv, and Scabiosa Virtuoso® Saura create a full, textured top.
The 'Spiraling Flowering Snail' design, made from birch bark, features Asters, Clematis Amazing® Kyiv, Echinacea, and dark Scabiosa Dark Cherry Scoop®, with grasses like Chasmanthium Mantis or bamboo adding height.
The 'Overwritten Greeting' design uses plane tree bark pierced and threaded on wires, attached to colored timber. Asters, Chasmanthium, Clematis Amazing® Havana, Clematis Amazing® Kyiv, and Clematis Amazing® Tokyo take on sculptural elements against the bark backdrop.
The Asters' precise petal arrangement gains its strength within the framework of the bark, creating a harmony of cultivated fineness and wilderness. This harmony is particularly evident in the 'Rustic Flower Ring' design, where Asters, Clematis Amazing® Tokyo, Scabiosa Virtuoso® Saura, fill a ring of plane tree bark around a water-filled bowl.

They are sustainably grown following Hamuka Kaizen principles, providing flexibility for unique bark compositions throughout different seasons. These designs are a testament to the versatility and adaptability of Marginpar's Asters, making them a must-have for any graphic enthusiast seeking to push the boundaries of traditional graphic arrangements.
