Recognize the material

Alchemilla mollis has softly hairy, palmately veined pale-green leaves and clusters of tiny chartreuse flowers.

Botanical reference: Alchemilla mollis — NC State Extension

Make a deliberate design choice

Check whether the supplied stem is dominated by the leaf surface or by a cloud of small flowers. Shared green color does not make it interchangeable with glossy leathery foliage. Keep the selected texture visible in a trial.

A comparison you can reproduce

Add two Lady's Mantle stems as a separate entry and compare one while other greenery stays fixed. Inspect leaf spread and which parts would sit in water; purchase count is not a fixed volume of chartreuse filler.

The comparison is an original BLUMIVELA planning exercise, not a tested arrangement or a botanical treatment.
