Garden Flower Arrangements
For a modern look, layer two square glass vases -- one 6 inches, one 4 inches -- and float slices of tiny key limes in water between the two. Roses, peonies, Allium, Dendrobium, salvias, and geraniums burst from the top of the vases.
Classic WhiteA tall white ceramic pitcher looks country-garden special with a loose arrangement of pretty garden peonies with pink larkspur and a few wild hedge roses.
Silver SurpriseLow enough to allow conversation, an arrangement in a silver bowl makes an ideal table centerpiece. Pink roses, Hypericum, sweet peas, and pansies are arranged in a mound, with dangling white strawberries over the bowl's edge to add a touch of the unexpected.
Tulip HeavenElegant purple tulips look shiny and sweet in an ironstone pitcher. Arrange the tulips in your hand and cut the stems to the same length. Tulips will continue to grow, so cut a little more off the bottom of the stems every day or two.









Just love when fruit is paired with flowers! Adds dimension and character to a centerpiece. I am not so creative so shop flowers online. I've shopped many sites but mostly I like www.canadawideflowers.ca. I have gotten some really beautiful arrangements from there.
