Good self analysis!
All in all a good design. But you could have kept the lines in your materials cleaner to put focus there.
For example the Ruscus, if that would have been clean we would have a much more linear expression.
Also some more volume/ hight to show off the lines going through the center of your design.

Generally good assessment of Lines used in this design.
Most dominant line, I think are the Tulip stems.
Ficus root might be the special linear feature, but does not read dominant.
Beautiful shaping of Curly willow, the green vine and the Ficus root garland - great featured lines!
Designed as horizontal linear... you can perhaps bring up the structure lines a little more so the Tulips and Freesias can be woven into the structure to help support and interact with these lines. This will give more exposure of stem lines, especially the Freesia. It will also give the design more dimensional lift so that you can appreciate the transparency even more looking into the design from the side view.
The dried fan palm can become a little more dimensional if some of them are lifted with variation of angles.
Great job Sandra!!! despite how busy you have been at the shop, you have squeezed this lesson in beautifully.
