A beautifully composed wicker basket arrangement stands out crisply against a bright white background, its palette of whites and greens echoing the calm, leafy character of Mortlake. The basket itself is made from pale, natural wicker, its weave tight and even, with a broad, curved handle rising in a smooth arc above the flowers. Around the front base, a red and white gingham ribbon is tied into a small but perfectly formed bow, adding a touch of rustic charm that feels reminiscent of local weekend markets and riverside picnics near Mortlake Green. Inside, the flowers are meticulously layered. Tall lily buds, still mostly closed and tinged with soft green, create vertical lines that draw the eye upwards, hinting at the slow unfolding of petals over several days. Around them, open white Gerbera daisies with neat, symmetrical petals and deep chocolate-brown centres provide focus and structure. Threaded between are creamy white and pale green lisianthus blooms, their softly ruffled petals giving the arrangement a romantic, almost garden-picked feel. A slim white calla lily, its trumpet-like bloom pure and smooth, adds a slightly more contemporary touch among the classic shapes. Smaller, spiky white and green chrysanthemum-type flowers fill the spaces, adding fine texture and a feeling of abundance without heaviness. The flowers emerge from a lush collar of greenery: rounded eucalyptus leaves with their characteristic blue-green tone, variegated green and white foliage that suggests gentle movement, and glossy deep green leaves that anchor the composition. Together, they create an impression of freshness and quiet celebration, perfectly suited to an anniversary bouquet delivered by a local Mortlake florist to homes near the station, a thoughtful thank-you gift, or a comforting arrangement to bring light and serenity into any room.

This photograph shows a rustic, light brown wicker basket brimming with a carefully arranged selection of white and green flowers, set cleanly against a pure white backdrop so every detail stands out. The basket's weave is visible and tactile, with a gently arched handle that frames the bouquet, and at the lower front a red and white gingham ribbon is tied in a neat, symmetrical bow, lending the design a homely, countryside feel that would look perfectly at ease in a Mortlake kitchen or living room near the Thames. Rising from the centre are numerous lily buds, their creamy white petals still mostly closed and edged in pale green, creating a sense of quiet expectation. Around them, open white Gerbera daisies with pristine petals and dark, almost black centres beam outward, adding a cheerful yet composed note. Interspersed throughout, clusters of lisianthus in shades of white and soft green bring gentle ruffles and fullness, their delicate blooms catching the light. A single sleek white calla lily, trumpet-shaped and effortlessly elegant, adds a touch of contemporary sophistication to the otherwise cottage-like look. Smaller, spidery white and green chrysanthemum-style blossoms nestle in the spaces, ensuring the basket feels full and generous from every angle. All of this is supported by a rich bed of foliage: silvery-blue rounded eucalyptus leaves, slender variegated greens, and broader deep green leaves that spill just slightly over the rim. The overall mood is serene and uplifting, an arrangement that feels ideal for marking a special anniversary dinner at home in Mortlake, offering sympathy with grace, or simply bringing a breath of fresh, garden-like calm into a local office or riverside flat.
