  the circle
• Four variations of the circle include mounds,
  cones, ovals, and fans

Circular Mound Design

• Mound design, also called the nosegay arrangement
  is designed to be viewed from all sides.
• Mound Arrangements do not have a focal point

Circular Mound Design

• Designs may be compact or light and airy
• Radiation rhythm is important in the construction
  of a mound
• All the stem are the same distance from the
  center of the design.

Circular Mound Design

• Stems appear to radiate from one point with the
  mound forming a sphere
• A line drawn across the top of the design forms a
  half circle

Circular Mound Design

• Space between flowers is equal throughout the
  design.
• Usually arranged in low round containers. If the
  container is taller that it is wide, an oval
  design would be more appropriate

Circular Mound Design

• Flowers should be evenly distributed over the
  design
• Only mass, filler, and sometimes form flowers
  should be used. Line flowers are never used-
  they will give the arrangement a spiked
  appearance.

  to appear less formal
