Daffodils and Violas Center Piece Flowers

Some of the blogs use this centering text so I thought I’d try this, too.

Let’s see how it looks..

I decided to see what else I could do with violas flowers

(Yes, I bought some more).

I hunted around the kitchen cabinets and found some things.

I found this bowl which I thought was

deep enough to plant violas in.

 

Hmmm.. I thought, what else could I do here?

So I found this nice little glass pedestal plate.

I put the bowl on the plate and said, “Wah Lah

Still not satisfied, I thought, ‘what else could I do?’

I spotted a glass bud vase! Oh, yes!

I put this onto the other 2 pieces of glassware.

I found something I could work with here!

So I took the violas (Johnny jump-ups)

I put the budvase in the center of the bowl and “planted” the Johnny Jump-ups

around the little vase. You can put some little stones in the bottom of

the bowl if you want. I didn’t. I knew they weren’t going to be in the bowl

for longer than a week or so.

Outside the daffodils are in bloom!

 

This is an unusual daffodil. It has a teeny, tiny cup. Isn’t it cute?

I love daffodils so I’ve planted lots of them around the house. Michele, my niece

horticulturist, helped me pick out some unusual daffodils, like

pink daffodils – they have a pink cup with white petals. It isn’t quite pink.

It’s more like a peach color.  It’s nice, though.

Okay, so I cut some of these and popped

them into the little bud vase in the middle of the Violas.

Daffodils plus……..

Violas…..

Daffodils plus Violas = beautiful arrangement below…

Since I planted this last week, the daffodils died and I pulled them out but the big surprise is that the

Violas kept growing taller and thicker. See???

Also a former post on 2ss (Two Succulent Sisters) about Violas HERE.

Happy Spring, everyone.
