Clematis is the Latin name for the clematis, which thrive with several hundred species both in Central Europe and on other continents with a temperate climate and classical forest areas. The name of the genus Clematis derives from the Greek name for the stem axis of a plant and thus emphasizes the most striking elements in the anatomy of the plant. Most species of clematis have a woody axis that grows shrubby and produces very large flowers that exceed the size numerous ornamental plants and cut flowers. The high number of species does not allow a uniform description of the flowers, which beautify the forests and fields of Europe in numerous colors and different forms. Most commonly found are white and purple varieties, the star shape dominates the appearance of most flowers of this genus. In recent decades, the Clematis has also found its way into horticulture and the classic floristry, which is mainly due to the targeted breeding of robust hybrids. These find their place in wild gardens, along house walls as well as everywhere, where bare garden areas are simply to be beautified by shrubs. Due to the large variance in flower shape and color, the right clematis for outdoor use can be found for almost every taste.

A coaster represents is a small vessel in the form of a shallow dish, which is placed under flowerpots in potted and indoor plants. The coaster is here an alternative to the planter, with the use of a coaster, therefore, the view of the basic flowerpot remains. Coasters are primarily used in professional gardening and on balconies and terraces by private flower lovers, with an emphasis always placed on a practical handling of the flower pots in comparison to an aesthetic look that can be more easily achieved with a planter. A significant advantage proves the coasters when watering the plants, as their use successfully prevents over-watering of the plants. If too much irrigation water has been poured into the potting soil or the granules, this will run off with commercially available flower pots over a hole on the bottom and collects around coasters. This can easily be removed and emptied, in extreme cases, the shallow vessel overflows and thus prevents in any case a permanent waterlogging, which limits the health of the plant considerably. Even if the practical use is of utmost importance with the use of coasters, the specialist retailer offers an eclectic selection that has various colors and patterns and thus contribute to a varied sight on windowsill or balcony. 
Coffin decorations are arrangements, wreaths and other objects of floristry and decoration, which are placed on the coffin in a morgue and are intended to convey an aesthetic value and a special memory.

The coffin jewelery also accompanies the deceased through his funeral service and in many cases is buried or burned. 
The coconut fiber refers to a specific, natural fiber form, which is obtained exclusively from coconuts. Unlike the majority of industrially processed natural fibers, coconut fibers are not derived from the bark or stem of the tree, whereas the fibrous matrix is derived from the fibrous surface texture of the coconuts. In further processing, coconut fibers were also an exception, as their woody character makes no weaving possible as with other textiles. The extraction of intrinsic fibers is due to the roasting of the coconut and the subsequent tapping of the outer shells. In traditional coconut fiber producing countries, cords, ropes and similar coconut fiber products are still produced by hand, with machine processing only taking place for a few decades. Coconut fibers are characterized by numerous advantages in the material, such as an immense stretchability, their sound insulation and longevity by their extremely low wear in contact with other objects. Essential products made of coconut fibers are ropes and carpets, but the fiber has also taken a firm place in the decorative area and can also be found in the online assortment of floristik21.de. In addition, the admixture of coconut fibers as Pflanzensubstat is possible and helps in horticulture to give plants a tight fit in the soil and to facilitate the absorption of various nutrients. 
The term color accent is a term from the general color theory, which is used in the visual arts as well as in floristry. A color accent means the use of a specific color that stands out from the totality of the selected colors or, through the absence of which, the overall impression of a picture or a bouquet is decisively changed. A color accent does not have to mean the dominant color of a bouquet, rather complementary colors are added as accents to this main color in order to significantly increase the aesthetic value. The color accent plays an important role in bouquets which, due to their use, should be dominated by a certain color, for example in black or dark red colors in funeral floristry. In this case, setting a color accent ensures that the entirety of the bouquet is not dominated by the main color alone, which is an appropriate effect both aesthetically and from the symbolic meaning of the bouquet. 
The term color chord comes from color theory and is used in addition to other artistic areas in modern floristry. Similar to a chord in music, in which several tones together produce a harmonious sound, the clever combination of colors is also intended to create an appealing, visual effect in the color chord. In floristry, this is essential when putting together bouquets and bouquets, which are usually made up of different flowers and thus receive different color nuances from the flower colors. A color chord follows the principles of classic color theory, which also applies to modern painting, for example, and the harmony of the assembled plants can arise in completely different ways, just like in music. The incorporation of contrasts in order to emphasize individual elements of a bouquet can be achieved with a suitable color chord as well as the compilation of flowers with similar colors, which complement each other in their coloring. The occasion for which a bouquet of flowers is to be put together also plays a role in the color theory in floristry, since on certain occasions such as a wedding or a funeral, different basic shades should dominate in the coloring. According to the laws of color theory, this dominance of a color can be broken through in a targeted manner and an appropriate floral arrangement can be put together with a suitable color chord. 
The color circle is a tool of color theory, which is also used in the field of floristry and is memorized by every graduate during the training for this profession. The classic color circle consists of twelve basic colors, which cover the entire spectrum of the color range and result in particular advantages due to the arrangement in a circle. For example, by looking at the opposing colors in the color wheel, you can find out which two shades bring about a particularly large, optical contrast. The color circle is also indispensable for the compilation of a triad of colors, since by drawing a triangle in the circle it becomes clear which three colors can be aesthetically combined. Through the use of the color wheel, all professional or private flower friends are given the opportunity to obtain aesthetic security in the color combination of flowers of all kinds, but statements about the general effects of the selected combination and its suitability for certain occasions are not based on Color circle. 
The term color harmony can be found both in art and in aesthetics and describes the property of color combinations to represent an appealing and color-coordinated combination according to the mathematical principles of aesthetics. Even if the color harmony can be determined on a very scientific basis, which, for example, also results in the color circle for the compilation of individual color tones, the subjective feeling also plays a role in the color harmony of bouquets and other, artistic elements. Basically, color combinations, which are compiled according to the rules of color theory, are described by most human viewers as harmonious in terms of color, but personal preferences can nevertheless deviate from the doctrine of color harmony. It is essential for a professional florist to adhere to the valid rules of color harmony when putting together bouquets, as the bouquets offered should appeal to a large proportion of the customers. From the harmony of the colors used, however, it is not yet possible to derive the events for which the respective flower arrangement is appropriate – a bouquet of funeral floristry can have a color harmony as well as a colorful spring bouquet. 
The term color sensation describes the reaction of people and other living beings to different colors. The general color perception can be divided into different aspects, which make a purely objective analysis of sensations for certain hues difficult and are in most cases culturally shaped. Throughout the history of mankind, color sensations have developed that are closely related to human nature and are felt in the same way by the vast majority of people. The shade of green, for example, dominates nature in Central Europe and is perceived as calming and natural by most people. Red often signals the color of the blood to the subconscious and is therefore understood as a warning color that in ancient times could have meant injury or the death of a fellow human being. In addition to these universal sensations, other color impressions are given more culturally, the color black and the grief associated with it in our latitudes are rated much more neutral in other parts of the world. Ultimately there is also an individual color perception of each person, which in its basic features corresponds to the natural and cultural foundations, but also has personal features. For this, one or more of a person's favorite color can be counted, which trigger a particularly positive, individual color sensation and are therefore often chosen for bouquets or other decorative elements. 
The color theory is a sub-area of modern aesthetics and the art sciences and deals with colors in general as well as their possibility to combine to achieve different, artistic effects. The discipline of color theory encompasses numerous specialist areas, but in everyday life as well as in floristry is usually reduced to the aspect of which colors can be combined with one another. Basically, the theory of colors conveys everything worth knowing about the individual colors, for example what effect it has on people and for what purpose it can be optimally used. In addition to an objective, aesthetic view of the individual colors, this also includes their cultural assessment, since in different parts of the world and epochs, individual colors are associated with different subject areas, people and events. For example, according to modern color theory, girls are assigned the color red or pink, while boys are more likely to be associated with the color blue – a few 100 years ago, the symbolic meaning in Central Europe was exactly the opposite. In addition to the basic evaluation of individual colors, the color harmony and the combination of different colors also play an important role in color theory, which is also used, for example, in the combination of flowers and blossoms in floristry. The creation of a triad of colors or another color harmony can be part of this as well as the integration of conscious contrasts, whereby the effect of the composition and the occasion for which a bouquet is designed should always be considered. 
The color triad is a term used in modern color theory and deals with the combination of three different colors that, despite their different character, leave a harmonious color impression. The color triad not only plays a role in the visual arts, but also has a high priority in floristry and horticulture. In order to aesthetically design flower beds and other planting areas with different flowers or different types of the same plant, many garden enthusiasts pay attention to the prevalence of a triad. The combination of colors is easier if only two color variants are used, but this condition also limits the aesthetic freedom. With a predominant triad of colors, mixed sowing is also possible, since the growing flowers with their blossom colors are guaranteed to match. In order to find out individually with which two colors a basic color can be optimally combined, the so-called color circle is used, which is an indispensable tool in color theory. Starting from a color, a triangle is to be drawn in this, the other two corner points of the color circle show which hues can be combined with one another in the sense of a triad of colors. 
The color-non-color contrast is one of the most important contrasts in modern color theory, which plays a special role in floristry. This contrast is to be found when a bouquet is to be created with only two different colors, one color dominating the shape of the entire bouquet. To emphasize the effect of the chosen color even more, a subtle color accent is set with a non-color, in floristry this is usually white. With this addition, the main color is expressed even more, as it can assert itself even more strongly in contrast to the non-color white and a bouquet can appear even brighter or more harmonious. The color-non-color contrast is one of the main reasons why, in modern floristry, bouquets are rounded off with subtle, white accessories – this is the only way to increase the aesthetic value of the entire bouquet. Basically, the color-non-color effect works with every bright color and the colors white, black or gray as non-color, but the latter two are rarely found in floristry.
