With flowerpaste there is no limit to the range of flowers, foliage or berries that can be created both real and fantasy. All that is required are the right materials, equipment and technique.

It includes thirty-eight step-by-step tutorials for the creation of all aspects of floral displays: flowers, buds, leaves, foliage, berries and seedpods. Finally, there is guidance on the creation of fantasy butterflies to enhance floral displays and instruction on the construction of seventeen specific sprays and arrangements.
