Detailed Umbellifer Stems

My detailed umbellifer stems are my endeavour to capture the delicacy of the beautiful cow parsley, hogweed seed heads and wild carrot flowers that appear in our hedgerows and meadows from April all the way through to the autumn. Each flower stem is embellished with wire handstitching to create detail.

The tallest stem in this arrangement is approximately 32cm, and the shortest 25cm. Should you need to alter the height you can easily bend the wire to shorten them. You can add a glass bottle as pictured, which is 14.5cm tall, please select from the drop down list. (Please note that the ceramic bottles pictured are handmade by Alison Wren Ceramics, and are not included, please contact her for more information about these.)

These are made with iron wire, so displaying in a damp or humid environment may encourage rust to develop, a rusty patina can be a lovely thing though.

The handmade wire stems you receive may vary in small details from the pictures shown, for example the number of petals in a flower or the size of fronds in a leaf for example, this makes each one unique, which I hope you'll agree is a lovely thing. The pictures are representative of what you'll receive.

Gift Presentation

If your flowers are a gift being sent directly to a loved one, you may like to choose the gift presentation option. The size and shape of your box may vary from that shown the picture, but it will be finished with gift wrap and ribbon and you can add a gift message at checkout that I will add to the card shown. Please note this presentation works best as a gift for somebody opening the packaging box themselves. If you order more than one arrangement in the same order they will be packed in the same box, so if your gifts are going to different people, please either order them separately, or get in touch after ordering so we can arrange this, there will be a charge to cover additional packing and postage for any additional boxes.
