Flower artistry on MS Amsterdam

Large arrangement in the Atrium

This is NOT the flower arranger, but the hairdo is similar - Roman Bust in a stairwell on MS Amsterdam
Moss covered twigs making a bed for berries and blooms
Dried twig garland and lilies with red tropical blooms
Walking around the MS Amsterdam from libraries to bars, from quiet rooms to Internet cafe, from Atrium to restaurants - everywhere one would find the most imaginative creations of flower arrangements. A young man, with dreadlocks neatly tied into a hefty bun, assisted by his wife was the artist behind these feasts for the eye.
One would never guess, that dried leaves, test tubes, moss covered little twigs and even moose antlers could ever be so pleasingly employed as a backdrop, prop up and frame for flowers. One would roam the ship, just to find a new surprise and inspiration for one's imagination.
