Picture from: http://treschicbride.blogspot.com/2008/07/composite-rose.htmlI learned the technique to make a composite flower at the floral design class I took a couple years ago. In the class we made a bridal bouquet out of several fresh roses. I never thought of making it with another flower until I have seen this composite magnolia in the Florists' Review Magazine and it was called "Fantasy Flower" there. I have made it with two big permanent magnolia stems. It turned into an oversized magnolia blossom that you cannot see in nature.
Composite flowers are assembled by using several stems of the same flower. A composite bouquet is made of petals wired or glued together to form a single large bloom. They can be made with roses, magnolias, lilies or any other large petaled flower. They are also called duchess bouquet. The first picture is the composite magnolia I've made. Second picture is a duchess rose bouquet made out of three dozens of fresh roses.
