White Daffodils with Visible Stems in a Tapered Glass Vase

Floral Design Spotlight · Lucy Hunter

White daffodils stand at several heights in this simple glass vase. Lucy Hunter gives their petals room to open, making the green stems below as much a part of the picture as the flowers above.

Keep the lower lines visible

The clear vase reveals stems crossing at different angles. That lively green pattern balances the pale flower heads and gives the arrangement interest below the waterline as well as above the rim.

Let a few flowers rise alone

The highest daffodils stand apart from the fuller lower group. Those lifted heads create a gentle upward movement without making every stem the same length or forcing the flowers into a smooth dome.

Use the surface as part of the scene

A few loose stems and flowers lie on the table beside the vase. They echo the arrangement’s pale petals and green lines, extending the still life beyond the container without adding a new color.

Try the idea in your own style

Sketch a clear vase with visible crossing stems before drawing any petals. Add three high flower heads and several lower ones. Check whether the stem lines help the whole piece feel connected rather than tangled.

This is our suggested design exercise, not the creator’s recipe or a reconstruction of their method.
