A large, saxophone-shaped floral tribute dominates the frame, positioned upright against a stark white background that sets off its colour and texture. The entire instrument is formed from tightly packed, bright yellow chrysanthemum heads, arranged so closely that they become a continuous cushion of colour, tracing every detail from the narrow mouthpiece through the graceful bend of the neck to the flared bell at the base. Nestled into this field of yellow are multiple clusters of small, richly coloured red spray roses and rosebuds, placed where the finger keys and decorative studs would sit on a real saxophone, their layered petals and deeper tone giving the illusion of intricate metalwork. Fine strands of dark green foliage snake through the yellow blooms, particularly along the outer edges of the body and around the bell, subtly defining the outline and adding a natural, leafy movement, like the visual echo of a flowing melody. Delicate silver-coloured wires and slim green stems are just visible in places, especially near the top where the mouthpiece would be, and a neat arc of wire extends upward as a graceful flourish, hinting at the reed and internal framework while maintaining the design's elegance. The lighting is even and gently diffused, allowing the vivid yellow, deep red, and fresh green tones to remain clear yet soothing to the eye. This bespoke floral saxophone feels particularly appropriate as a memorial piece for a musician, jazz lover, or someone with strong ties to music and performance in the Rotherhithe area, perhaps remembered from gigs in local venues around Surrey Quays or along the riverfront. The yellow chrysanthemums carry a message of joy, remembrance, and enduring friendship, while the red roses introduce a note of profound love and respect, creating a tribute that feels both celebratory and reverent.

In this carefully lit photograph, a full-sized saxophone has been reimagined as a floral sculpture, standing tall against a simple white background to highlight its crafted detail. The entire body of the instrument is sheathed in a dense covering of bright, sunny yellow chrysanthemum florets, the blooms so tightly grouped that they form a smooth yet softly textured skin, faithfully following the instrument's signature sweeping shape and rounded bell. Interspersed across this golden surface are numerous small, deep red flowers and buds, most likely spray roses, deliberately placed to mimic the keys, tone holes, and decorative elements of a real saxophone, their rich colour and velvety petals adding depth and definition. Threaded through the yellow blooms, slender trails of fresh green foliage run along the contours, especially visible around the curved neck and the wide bell, introducing a sense of movement and giving the impression of notes winding through the air. On the left near the top, where the mouthpiece would be, a few thin green stems and subtle metallic wires extend outward, revealing a glimpse of the structure that holds the tribute together while suggesting an abstract reed. The composition feels serene yet full of character, perfectly at home in a funeral or memorial setting for someone whose life in Rotherhithe was closely tied to jazz sessions, brass bands, or evenings of music in riverside venues and community halls. The bright yellow chrysanthemums evoke warmth, optimism, and cherished memories, while the accents of red suggest deep affection and respect, combining to form a floral farewell that is both distinctive and sincerely heartfelt. In this serene funeral tribute, a saxophone is brought to life entirely through flowers, creating a visual hymn to music that would feel especially meaningful for families in Rotherhithe saying goodbye to a music lover. The full instrument is present in floral form: a curved bell opens gracefully at the base, the slender body extends upward in a strong vertical line, and the top arcs gently, all perfectly outlined by a dense covering of yellow chrysanthemums. These small blooms are tightly clustered, forming a smooth yet subtly textured surface that resembles a rich fabric of petals draped over an invisible saxophone. Light falls across the design, highlighting the rounded contours of the body and accentuating natural shadows between the blossoms. Running along the front of the instrument, marking out the path of the keys, a sequence of vivid orange-red spray roses adds definition and contrast. The roses are interspersed with tiny pockets of fresh green foliage, whose cool tones and varied shapes bring a touch of natural wildness to the otherwise structured form. A hidden framework, supported by fine green wires, ensures that the tall design stands upright, with only the faintest suggestion of mechanics visible beneath the flowers. The tribute is photographed against a clean white background, with a soft, feathered shadow beneath the bell, emphasising its height and solid presence. This floral saxophone feels like a loving nod to evenings of jazz and blues, perhaps enjoyed in Rotherhithe's riverside bars or at home overlooking the water, a final gesture that honours both the person and the music that shaped their life.
