Plant materials and containers: calla lily, golden-vein aphelandra (Aphelandra squarrosa), iron cross begonia (Begonia masoniana), wax begonia (Begonia semperflorens), variegated periwinkle (Vinca major 'Variegata'), wooden containers, etc.
Work appreciation: The composition of the work is balanced, with smooth lines and a sense of movement. In terms of color, yellow and green are the main tones, and the plants echo one another. At the same time, the red flowers and brown leaf veins add variation in color, and also form a harmonious unity with the color of the container, so that the coordination between the plants and the container brings out the best in each other.
Step 1: Add an appropriate amount of potting soil to the wooden container. Plant 1 calla lily in the center toward the rear side of the container. Its spreading branches and leaves, together with the upright, graceful flowers, form the main body of the work.
Step 2: On the left side of the calla lily, plant 1 golden-vein aphelandra of moderate height, and make it lean slightly outward.
Step 3: On the right side of the container, plant 1 iron cross begonia, slightly lower in height and leaning toward the front.
Step 4: In the gap between the golden-vein aphelandra and the iron cross begonia, plant 1 wax begonia, and plant 1 wax begonia behind each of the two, 3 red-flowered wax begonias not only increase the variation in color, but also echo one another, enriching the composition.
Step 5: In front of the golden-vein aphelandra on the left, plant 1 variegated periwinkle. The smooth lines formed by its branches and leaves add a sense of movement to the work.
