Sybil Sylvester takes us behind the scenes as she creates our March/April 2025 cover arrangement, sharing tips for container selection and color combinations, as well as her approach to composition.
The resulting arrangement is a lush, ladylike combination of pinks and blues that highlights our Flower of the Year. If you enjoy this feature, subscribe to FLOWER magazine for more inspiring homes, gardens, lifestyle content, and of course, florals!

Even Weezie, a German Shorthaired Pointer, is enamored with Sybil Sylvester’s arrangement featuring our “Flower of the Year.”
