We're back in 'FLOWER SCHOOL' in the 'Off Duty' section of The Wall Street Journal. For this GEOMETRY LESSON, floral designer Lindsey Taylor channels the rigorous energy of a cheery, abstract canvas by Etel Adnan. "Straight-edged ceramics and massed blooms approximate the grid of Etel Adnan's untitled painting (1972-1975)."

She massed groupings of flowers cut to similar heights into geometric ceramic vases: white mini gladiolas in a white cylinder, chartreuse leucadendron in a red cube and blue eryngium and nigella in a black cube.
