Decorate home with flowers

IF THE thought of winter
holiday entertaining con-
jures up visions of cosy
fireside scenes, pine boughs
and a cup of cheer, stop a
moment and add some
flowers to the picture.

Many people are moving into
smatler homes as their children
grow up. and head out on their
own. Others maintain hectic
lifestyles in households of just one
or two adults. As a result, the
traditional Christmas tree may not
be desirable or practical.

This year, try placing three
large pots of amaryllis or lilies in
a large basket, along with some
evergreen branches or ivy hanging
decoratively. over the edge, and
create a different kind of
showcase for the family’s favorite
tree ornaments.

Floral expressions fit
holiday situations, too.

Centrepieces, for instance,
could include bulb flowers, ar-
ranged in baskets to create a
miniature garden. Add in some
green plants and moss to cover the

other

edges of the pots and decorate
with pine cones, berries, small
apples and nuts.

Step-by-step decorating
@ Line a shaliow dish or basket
with plastic and arrange the
flowering bulbs in this container.
@ Cover with sand or potting soil
to anchor them firmly, just up to
the inside edge of the dish or
basket rim.
@ Cover that with moss and add
a few small pine twigs or holly, to
provide a carpet of green from
which the bulb flowers emerge.
@ Complete with pine cones, rib-
bon, bows and Christmas tree or-
