The Raleigh Rose Show is on Saturday, May 27, 2006. You can read some of my thinking toward the designs on my garden blog starting with an entry the Tuesday before the show which includes descriptions of all of the arrangement categories. I'm planning on creating two modern arrangements, one large-flowered and one miniature. The overall theme is The Silver Screen "to honor memorable motion pictures."

The large modern is The Three Faces of Eve (1957; a psychiatrist treats a southern housewife with three personalities); as conventional, I will have a niche 40" high by 32" wide by 18" deep. The small modern is Vertigo (1958; a former San Francisco detective who dreads heights falls for a woman he is hired to protect) in a niche 9" high by 9" wide by 6" deep.
