Decorating with fresh Strelitzia leaves

When travelling to Spain last year for SunnyDesign, a blogtour organised by Red, I was really impressed by the different flower shops and as far as I remember it was the first time I actually saw huge Monstera leaves being sold as a single leaf and decoration object.

This week I finally found some stores in Amsterdam selling them and of course I had to buy one to add to a small bouquet, only three flowers actually as I still believe less is more. The picture of the Strelitzia plant I made last week at AnoukB and I would love to find some leaves to decorate with like in the picture below. How do you like the idea of using leaves as decoration objects?
