Member's July Design - Featured Plant Material Design, p. 74 NGC book, "Red, White, OR Blue"
NGC is the National Garden Club Flower Show Book, the Flower Show "bible".
Featured Plant Material Design - a design with an emphasis on one plant species.
Any part/s of the plant may be used.
Other components are subordinate and may be used to enhance the featured plant material.
The focus is on the chosen species.
The schedule (in a flower show) may specify the Design Style and/or plant material to be used, but
Designer's Choice Award may not be offered.
SEE SUGGESTIVE PHOTOS, BELOW.
PDF link from a Connecticut Garden Club describing a Featured Plant Material Design; which is also a Creative Design.
"In a Featured Plant Material Design the unity should come from the emphasis on the featured species of plant material.
The species becomes the ‘diva’ and any other material becomes secondary (subordinate) only used to enhance the import."

So, a Good Question to ask about your Featured Plant Material Design - "Who's your Diva?"
