Martinis, with a twist

Originally Published: January/February 2004

When arranging, choose flowers to complement your foam colors. Els filled the bowls of 27- and 19-inch-tall martini glasses with fuchsia and lime Rainbow Foam powder. She added hydrangea, lady's mantle, 'Attache' roses, echinops, gloriosa lilies, phlox and a tomatillo on a florist's pick, plus hosta and burdock leaves from her own garden.
