When my friend Jen gave me a stem of fritillaria imperialis that she had grown, I knew that I wanted to make it shine in a special headpiece. I used a heavier mesh for the vertical piece, and hid the mechanics with a palm leaf in the front and salal leaves in the back. The base is covered with deconstructed dingo ferns. Kumquats, deconstructed kalanchoe and protea added some whimsy.

Many thanks to our fantastic team who made this photo shoot happen.
