HAWTHORN AND WILLOW COLOUR TWIST

In the pale of winter the brilliant, coloured stems of Cornus sanguinea Winter Flame (bottom right), coral bark willow and crack willow erupt. Their pliable switches are easily entwined to create colourful circlets or wreath bases. Add golden highlights, orange hawthorn berries (left) and faded, filigree hydrangea heads for warmth before finishing with a flourish of fresh seasonal snippings, such as holly (top right), ivy and mistletoe (centre right).
