*Remove the stems of your spring flowers (tulips, lilies,
carnations, daisies, even sunflowers) and float them in a crystal or clear
glass decorative bowl.
*Fill a glass vase with jellybeans. Layer the colors or mix
them up. Do not add water to the vase. Place spring flowers into jellybeans
1-2 hours before your gathering to prevent flowers from wilting.
*Collect small, miscellaneous styles and colored vases. Place
down the center of your dining table. Insert one spring flower in each.
Easter Lily
The traditional flower of Easter is the Lily. Whether you purchase the lily yourself or receive it as a gift, the following helpful hints will help you care for your lily for years to come.
* Expose to medium light and allow top of soil to dry before watering.
* When flowers die, let plant dry out.
* Cut stem down to bulb.
* Clean the bulb and store where it is cool and dark.
* August is the month to replant the bulb in a pot, covering very little with soil.
* Water just enough to keep bulb and soil damp, do not water too much.
* A bloom should occur within 100 to 120 days.
* When lily has bloomed, expose to medium light.
This is the program to follow so you can enjoy your lily year after year.
