Florists' Review is excited to present the fi nalists in our November
"Best in Blooms" fl ower design contest. We received more than 30
entries from fl oral designers from across North America.
e four designers featured in this article were selected as our November
"Best in Bloom" fi nalists. It is an exciting group of talent. All four fi nalists
made amazing and extremely diff erent artistic fl oral interpretations.
Bravo to each of them!
Our four fantastic fi nalists were challenged to create a design without a
container, to highlight the complex beauty of the garden roses provided
by Alexandra Farms. Each designer was elated to receive a box of roses,
each of which included 24 stems each of 'Princess Hitomi', 'Princess
Miyuki' and 'Romantic Antike' roses grown by Alexandra Farms.

About her design, Hanselmann says:
"I was inspired by my favorite childhood
book, e Runaway Fairy, to create a rose
garden for the rose-garden fairies. I created
a chicken-wire structure as the base for
the table-runner. e roses and other
fl owers are hydrated with water tubes
and pin frogs placed in a shallow base
of water. e addition of moss and preserved
mushrooms fi nish off the fairyland creation."
