Fern shoot or Monkey tail. A curly stem for organic weddings



Fiddleheads or Fiddlehead greens 
are the furled fronds of a young fern or
Fern shoots, (Monkey Tail). Interestingly,
 while these look hardy they actually need
 allot of water. They are in fact the growing
tips of a new  fern frond.






We use these in boutonnieres, bouquets.




as well as arrangements and all sorts of other designs
for events. They look great with succulents
and grass weaving. Berries and other textural pieces.

Brussels flower carpet.

Every other year in August Brussels creates an amazing carpet of flowers.
It fills the town Plaza. One of those design wonders of the world...Each time the Architect envisions a design inspired sometimes by culture, fabric or textile and recreates that vision for the whole world to see. We think its awe inspiring and breathtaking. All of us Chris Lindsay Designs want to go.
