K I S S

Arrangement # 129
This is my first posting for the new year. My theme today is K I S S. Keep it simple, yet stylish.
One of the many plants species that grow abundantly over at my eco-farm here in Bintulu is the fragrant screwpine ( Pandanus odorus) which has a scent much sought after by big industries. The species of fragrant screwpine's extract are used for aroma in flavouring cakes, syrup, biscuits, bread etc. It is also used to flavour rice like in chicken rice. Here I used the aromatic leaves for structure .
To match its fragrance I chose the heady scented white ginger lily ( hedychium coronarium). Its soft satiny white petals provides a striking contrast against the pandan fresh green leaves.
That's it. It's so simple, I call this composition... K I S S .
