Rita Cartwright replaced Joan Southerton at the March 5 demonstration, with the title Floral Jigsaw.

Blue Pot by Cezanne contained a variety of leaves, irises and tulips, plus lemons, then Winds of Change were depicted by a tall mesh container filled with green apples, and a floral arrangement on top.

For Eastern Promise, Mrs Cartwright used bamboo with ferns, leaves, red gerberas, roses and a bronze coloured candle.

Next came Dinner Party, with ferns, pine, lilies, magenta and pink carnations and white chrysanthemums, and this was followed by Carnival, in a bamboo container, with flowers, spirals of cane and a fresh pineapple.

Finally, Easter, featured spruce, palm, magnolia leaves and laurel, white lilies and white candles.

A Mother's Day basket of tulips and daffodils was donated by Andrew Lloyd. Next meeting is on April 2 at 7.30pm in St Mary's Chantry, Kidderminster, when Katherine Kear will depict Alphapetal competitions, under the title Occasions.
