The Best Impromptu Flower Arrangement
This charming and simple bouquet is created from the garden clippings of shrubs, annuals, perennials and even the foliage of a tropical plant. To make, clip the pretty ends pruned from your shrubs (Japanese pieris, mountain laurel and all dogwood varieties are ideal) and set in your vessel (make these pieces about twice the height of the vase). Fill the rest with slightly shorter stems of other foliage plants, and finish it off with one or two sprigs of a pompom-shaped blossom, such as hydrangea, viburnum or these Martha Washington geraniums.
