Flower Power
With spring around the corner, it seems everything’s coming up green. Except your thumb, that is. But there’s hope for you yet, thanks to a few florists participating in the 136th annual New England Spring Flower Show. These tulip-inspired, DIY arrangements are easy enough, even for you.
Sheltered Tulips
from Lisa Greene of Nunan Florist & Greenhouses
What you’ll need:
1 short vase
20 tulips, any color
8 blades of bear grass
Sheer ribbon to match tulips
Instructions:
1. Remove all foliage from tulips except for top leaf.
2. Cut all stems so that flower heads fall just above top of vase.
3. Cut bear grass to fifteen inches.
4. Place stem of grass on inside of vase, resting horizontally. Place other end of grass on opposite side of vase, making loops. Continue with remaining bear grass, placing about an inch apart.
5. Add tulips and fill three-quarters with room temperature water.
6. Cut sheer ribbon to desired length and tie a bow around vase.
