خُلُودُ تَخْتَارُ الزُّهُورَ

خُلُودُ أَبُو غَزَالَةَ تُنَسِّقُ الزُّهُورَ فِي جُدَّةَ. عِنْدَهَا اسْتُودْيُو صَغِيرٌ، وَفِيهِ أَلْوَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ. قَبْلَ الزُّهُورِ، عَمِلَتْ فِي سَلَاسِلِ الْإِمْدَادِ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. فِي الِاسْتُودْيُو، تَسْمَعُ خُلُودُ مُوسِيقَى الْجَازِ. ثُمَّ تَخْتَارُ الزُّهُورَ وَالْمَزْهَرِيَّةَ. تَبْدَأُ بِالزُّهُورِ الْكَبِيرَةِ، ثُمَّ تَضَعُ الزُّهُورَ الصَّغِيرَةَ. وَفِي النِّهَايَةِ تَضَعُ الزُّهُورَ الْخَفِيفَةَ مِثْلَ الرِّيشِ. تَسْتَعْمِلُ لَوْنًا وَاحِدًا أَحْيَانًا، وَأَلْوَانًا كَثِيرَةً أَحْيَانًا. يَقُولُ الزَّبَائِنُ: هَذِهِ حَدِيقَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ فِي مَزْهَرِيَّةٍ. وَتَقُولُ خُلُودُ: الزُّهُورُ تَجْعَلُنِي سَعِيدَةً. وَتُرِيدُ فِي الْمُسْتَقْبَلِ اسْتُودْيُو جَدِيدًا فِي الرِّيَاضِ.

Kholod Abughazalah arranges flowers in Jeddah. She has a small studio, and there are many colours in it. Before flowers, she worked in supply chains for thirteen years. In the studio, Kholod listens to jazz music. Then she chooses the flowers and the vase. She starts with the big flowers, then she puts in the small flowers. And at the end she puts in the light flowers, like feathers. Sometimes she uses one colour, and sometimes many colours. The customers say: this is a little garden in a vase. And Kholod says: flowers make me happy. And in the future she wants a new studio in Riyadh.
