This image shows a large, custom-made funeral tribute in the exact silhouette of a saxophone, presented upright against a stark white studio-style background. The structure of the instrument is cloaked entirely in small, bright yellow chrysanthemums, each bloom resting closely against its neighbour to build a continuous, cushion-like surface that follows the saxophone's long body, curved neck, and flared bell. The yellow is vivid and sunny, softened only by the natural texture of the petals, which curl and layer to create depth and gentle shadows. Interspersed across the length of this floral instrument are numerous petite red roses and spray rosebuds, positioned thoughtfully where tone holes and keys would be found on a real saxophone. These red accents, rich and velvety, stand proud of the chrysanthemums and form a tactile pattern that a musician from Herne Hill might instinctively recognise under their fingertips. Fine strands of dark and mid-green foliage thread through the design, particularly accenting the outer contours, so the eye is guided smoothly along the familiar S-curve that would be at home in a jazz bar off Half Moon Lane. Discreet metallic and green florist wires peek out near the mouthpiece and upper body, part of a slender armature that both outlines imagined mechanisms and holds the tribute steady for viewing at a local church or crematorium. Crafted as a bespoke sympathy piece, this floral saxophone blends artistry and remembrance, making it especially fitting for honouring a sax player, music teacher, or devoted jazz fan whose sound once filled the streets and gardens around Herne Hill with life.

A detailed floral sculpture in the unmistakable shape of a full-sized saxophone is set against a plain white background, capturing the essence of the instrument entirely through flowers. The main body is densely paved with bright yellow chrysanthemum florets, each one short-stemmed and carefully angled so they nest tightly together, creating a plush, uniform surface that flows seamlessly from the narrow mouthpiece down to the wide bell. The yellow tones are warm and optimistic, reminiscent of late afternoon light over the rooftops of Herne Hill, and they lend the tribute an uplifting quality even in the context of grief. Dotted thoughtfully across this sunny backdrop are small, rounded red rosebuds and miniature roses, marking out the line of keys and buttons along the instrument's length. Their jewel-like colour and slightly raised profiles add dimension, turning the saxophone into a tactile map of a player's touch. Wisps of trailing greenery and fine vine-like foliage curl over some edges and trace gentle lines around the bell and neck, suggesting movement as though the instrument is caught mid-song. Near the mouthpiece, a few thin, green and metallic wires rise modestly, providing subtle support and hinting at the reed and internal workings. The design has the precision of a musician's craft and the tenderness of a farewell, ideal as a funeral tribute for a loved one known for playing in local bands or enjoying late-night jazz sessions near Brockwell Park. This floral saxophone speaks softly of remembrance, music, and the enduring echoes of a life well lived. This striking floral tribute depicts a saxophone rendered with remarkable realism, set against a pure white background that makes every petal and curve stand out clearly. The main body of the instrument-its long tube, flared bell, and slender, arcing neck-is constructed from a dense tapestry of yellow chrysanthemums, each bloom pressed close to its neighbour to form a plush, continuous surface. Their warm, sunshine colour suggests the gleam of brass under gentle light, softening the sadness of farewell with a hint of joyful memory. Along the length of the saxophone, taking the place of its keys, runs a flowing line of orange-red spray roses. These tiny, multi-petalled flowers are arranged in neat clusters, interwoven with short sprays of bright green foliage that peek out like small leaves on a vine, bringing contrast and energy to the design. Fine, pale green floral wires are just visible in places, like the hidden workings of a real instrument, supporting the structure so it stands tall and true. A subtle shadow beneath the piece reveals its three-dimensional form, suggesting it is mounted on a stand as it might be for a service at a local church off Railton Road or a remembrance gathering overlooking Brockwell Lido. The overall effect is both artistic and deeply emotive, as though this floral saxophone could play one last gentle tune in honour of a loved one who cherished jazz nights, brass bands, or live music sessions around Herne Hill, turning a symbol of loss into a lyrical expression of gratitude and love.
