Have a look at this fantastic book ‘The Origin of Plants’ https://amzn.to/3TSFYJ0
I’ve been to China and I am inspired by all things oriental, especially the botanicals! The floral designs were completely different from those of Japan, especially when it comes to combinations of flowers/foliage. The lines are very similar in look to something you might find in the 19th & early 20th century. You can tell that through the ages with trade through the Silk Route that styles have blended.

As an aside many of the plants we find in our gardens have their place or point of origin in China.

Things to gather:
- Tall stately Victorian inspired vase. I created the one I’m using several years ago. The vase started life as a milk glass finish which I embellished with floral transfers of peony, butterflies and birds, very popular during this era. Note: because the blooms being used are not available in my growing season, I’ve opted to use all artificial flowers.
- A couple of pieces of gnarly mossy covered branches.
- Several stems of white & pinky toned camellia.
- 1 white large pinky-tinged peony.
- 6 or 7 stems of long lush pinky fuchsia bougainvillea.
- A couple of large headed deep red roses.
- Several stems of golden tea roses.

Enjoy your floral adventure!

Roses originated in Asia, specifically Central Asia, where their cultivation began around 5,000 years ago. While fossil evidence suggests they existed 35 million years ago, the earliest known cultivation is linked to ancient China. From there, they spread to other parts of the world, including Europe and North America.

Peonies are native to Asia, Europe, and Western North America. They have a long history, with some species being cultivated in China for over 1000 years. Today, they are found in many parts of the world, including Europe, the U.S., and beyond, due to their popularity and ease of cultivation.

Peonies have been cultivated in China for over a millennium, where they are called "sho yu" meaning "most beautiful". In China, they were once considered the national flower and bred in imperial courts. Their popularity spread to Japan in the 11th century and then to France and England in the 18th century.
