jesus, it's about time i get back into the game of "centrepiece of the month", inveted by the lovely janelle of talk of tomatoes.so it's winter... foggy... rainy... cold - oh it's a heck of a nasty time. so i tend to spoil myself with flowers - from orchids to roses to tulips. the only flower that makes me feel like spring (where is it? - how many nights will i have to sleep until i can finally go to work in a t-shirt and flipflops?) is a hyacinth with it's strong, sweet scent and it's lovely flowerheads.
a hiacinth is such an easygoing flower. plant a bulp in a pot with little soil or simply place it into a little cute basket like i did, decorate with some small branches, some moss and a tiny snail shell and you are all set. dont water too much - all the power is in the bulb already. depending on how many guests you have at the table make a few and place them in the middle of the table or make one for each of your guests as a little present to take home.
check out sandy's page - she will be posting all the lovely centre pieces of the month.
love this month's center piece, Myriam!!
ReplyDeleteI love hyacinths. They used to be my crappy day feel better plant to get me through 'til spring.
ReplyDeleteYour centerpiece is so fresh, I bet you can hardly wait until it blooms - I can almost imagine the scent.
i adore your centerpieces every time! great job this month =)
ReplyDeletecan I come? to the party where each guest gets a little pot of snail-shelled green growth with flowers about to bloom?
ReplyDeleteFunny, I have been buying flowers very deliberately right now. I think it DOES have to do with how cold and gray and cold and colder... it is. Right now it is simply about roses. Short, fat roses.
Lovely centerpiece myriam!
