Process:

Cut the bamboo pole into different length segments with the 45-degree angle on one side (I used the masking tape to prevent chipping of the bamboo).

Then with hot glue attach the cut bamboo onto the wood piece.

Make some holes with a drill making the 90-degree angle to the bamboo for the wood sticks, and with adding a little bit of wood glue insert the sticks. Create another level of the wood stick parallel to the bamboo. From the side, it will look like a grid.

Some water tubes wrapped with raffia then glued to the thin wood sticks repeating the upward movement. Fill the water tubes with water.

Next, add grass and wines for the upward movement and foliage. After that, add orchids and anemones, small and large flowers. Please remember to create groups of flowers in the 8-5-3 rule, that simple rule will help provide more impact, especially if you make the large construction.
