Using a left over bowl to recreate a flower arrangement given to me a couple of weeks ago. I removed the dead flowers, but left the branches, which had been so artful placed in the bowl. The whole thing was also washed out with hot soapy water and rinsed with a bit of bleach water to kill any remaining yuckiness.
White tulips and colored alstroemeria were picked up from Trader Joe's; $4.99 and $3.99 respectively. First, I chopped the bottom of the alstromeria. Next, the bottom leaves were removed from the stems.
Each stem was futher cut depending on where it was placed in the bowl; shorter ones on the side, taller ones in the center.
After, the tulips were trimmed. I cut just above where the bottom leaf joined the stem. Cutting tulip leaves is preferable to peeling them away.
Tulips were then added to the arrangement. Lastly, water, plant food and a few dirty pennies were put in the bowl.
