Ivy and Holly - A Flower Box of Mistletoe

A friend at the flower shop had given me a box of those round foam cores that arrangements are sometimes built around. At first i'd thought of making them with mistletoe, but holly and ivy sounded better. There really is no plant that compares to it. Brilliantly glossy with wide pyramital leaves cut so sharply that they seemed to have been made by a fastidious paper artist.
