ASPECTS REGARDING OSHIBANA PROCESSING OF
ERYTHRONIUM DENS CANIS FLOWERS
Erythronium Dens Canis is a spring flower with high visual impact due to its petal disposing as a radiate crown in the early stage and as an open dog mouth in the later stage. The visual effect is enhanced by stamina position in the centre of the flower. Such nice flower worth’s to be processed by Oshibana method. We collect several flowers from Faget Woods nearby Cluj Napoca, Romania, in several development stages: bloom, early opened flower and mature opened (late) stage. All were pressed according to the best option: large numbers of paper pages between flower layers and average loading of around 3 kg uniform distributed over an A4 page format. The optical microscopy evidence a good pressing of the petals with a good cohesion among cellular walls. The final test shows that the Erytronium Dens Canis pressed flowers are suitable for Osibana compositions.
