Prize winning ‘arrangement’ at Naples Show

Does this “arrangement” look familiar to anyone? I do believe this was designed by Toni Marie and sold from the VAOS Orchid Boutique. Ask Tony N. if he remembers collecting the base pieces for us a couple of years ago. See what Jane or any of the Boutique staff have to say. If I am wrong, I apologize for the ‘mistaken – identity’. If not, I want the $50 prize money for the Boutique. Third Place winner for “Single Flower Arrangement” category. Cute name ‘Woodland Fantasy’. I suspect the ‘fantasy’ of actually designing this floral arrangement went a bit too far.
