Although my floral design style tends to be very lush, eclectic, and full (see the intro post yesterday), I also appreciate very simple arrangements of flowers. Nothing makes your house feel like spring has arrived than daffodils. Here is a quick easy idea for a spring floral display. I created a vignette with a dozen daffodils, super-moss (which is preserved moss), and chemistry lab glass for vases.
You can get super-moss here or even at a craft store near in your town. You could also use fresh moss if it is available. (If you have read my blog before you will know I am a huge fan of moss and anything “woodland” so here I go again!)
I got these Erlenmeyer flasks at an antique show but you can buy inexpensive modern ones online at The Science Company.
I started by laying out several patches of moss into a loose line. I then filled the bottles with water and placed them intermingling with the moss. I then cut stems of daffodils at different heights and placed them in the bottles. This would work well with a variety of flowers but I like having all one type – you could do tulips, ranunculas, hyacinth, or even larger bottles with blooming branches.
Happy Spring!
