Agave Succulent Agave plants are a large variety of succulent, with rows of upward-facing leaves. Their colors are often subdued shades of green or silvery blue, sometimes variegated or accented with shades of ivory or soft yellow along the leaves. The structure of this agave incorporates the piping techniques of a chrysanthemum (see page 81). By using a two-toned buttercream, you’ll create soft, silvery blue leaves accented with ivory on the outer edges to mimic the look of a variegated blue agave. Aster Asters have a similar structure to chrysanthemums but feature open centers displaying contrasting stamens. Compact in size, but often very bold in color, asters are beautiful additions to compositions containing chrysanthemums or displays that need accents of texture and vivid color. Sunflower With their large, textured centers and petals in shades of warm yellow, sunflowers are an expressive sign of late summer and autumn. Sunflowers are larger than some buttercream botanicals, so they work well as the focal point of an arrangement along with other autumnal accents, such as autumn leaves and branches.
