I could not figure out how it was assembled. I thought it would have been floral tape, but now I see the pins. I think this is stunning, and I have never seen or heard of this before you blogged about it. Thanks!!

[Mimi]

Some glamelias are wired, pinned and or glued. It's an amazing art. Happy you learned something new!

[Amy]

Hmm. I better read the the first part before spoiling this story out.

Glamelias are quite interesting. You're right. You'll get the whole story better if you start with part 1. Please visit "The Glamelia Project" pinboard on Pinterest. Fly Me to The Moon Florists. Thanks so much for your comment.

So I was taught to make them with gladiolas. And we actually wired them, like a spiral and taped every once in a while as you went.

[Mimi]

Thanks for sharing your technique for making glamelias. The gladiola glamelias are one of my favorites.
