The Pantone Colour Of The Year 2020 | Classic Blue
PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue is the colour of 2020. It is a timeless and enduring blue hue, elegant in its simplicity. Time to get started with beautiful blue flowers!
Blue is a somewhat unnatural colour. Yet spring brings forth blue coloured flowers such as iris, hyacinth, muscari, forget-me-nots, anemones and violets. They push us to think “out of the box” and allow us to create something whimsical in spring.

- Cut the rest of the bottles in a spiralling way to just below the neck.
- Keep the cap on the bottle neck so that you get a receptacle for the violets.
