{"product_id":"queen-annes-lace-stem-light-green","title":"Queen Anne's Lace Stem, Light Green 49cm Faux Flower","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome stems do the heavy lifting in an arrangement. This one does the opposite, and an arrangement is usually the better for it. Queen Anne's lace scatters fine, lacy clusters of tiny flowers across an open, feathery frame, and in light green it reads as fresh field picking rather than anything formal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stem measures 49cm, which is the useful middle height: tall enough to give a bouquet air above the rim of a vase, short enough to trim down for a bud vase without losing the shape. It is also known as wild carrot, bishop's lace and, in its close garden relative, bishop's flower or false Queen Anne's lace, so if you have been searching under any of those, this is the bloom you had in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere it earns its place is in the gaps. Peonies, hydrangeas and roses give you mass; this gives you the lightness between them, which is the difference between a bunch that looks arranged and one that looks gathered.
