8. Grape hyacinth and pink hydrangeas
Pull out your prettiest crystal compote or shop the vintage store for a decadent crystal dish, then float short-stemmed pink hydrangeas with grape hyacinth in it. For support, make a grid with transparent tape across your container’s opening. Insert your flowers in the grid’s holes, filling the bowl tightly with blossoms to avoid empty spaces.
9. Edible flowers
Make food your spring centerpiece! Bake a cake, pie or custard and top it with edible flowers like hibiscus, nasturtiums, pansies, roses or violets. An alternative is to prepare a salad with edible flowers garnishing the top. Remember to never eat flowers that have come from a garden shop, nursery or florist because they may have been sprayed with pesticides.
10. Parrot tulips
Parrot tulips continue to grow after cutting, so you can enjoy a long-lived spring centerpiece when using these flowers. They have a distinct personality and they even rearrange themselves in their containers. Cut parrot tulip stems short to arrange a mass of flowers or leave them long.
Enjoy decorating with flowers this spring and delight in soaking up all the amazing energy they provide.
