Tip: Mass flowers are a good choice for a simple, quick vase full of flowers and are often sold in bunches. Filler flowers (stems with a lot of little flowers) and foliage will round out your bouquet and give it a soft, full look. Casual, fresh from-the-garden bouquets use an abundance of filler flowers to visually connect mass and line flowers. Examples of filler flowers and foliage are: baby's breath, feverfew, Queen Anne's lace, ferns, heather, statice, eucalyptus, aster. |

The longest stems go in first. Next, repeat this process with your line and mass flowers, inserting the tallest flowers first and working outward to a fan shape. |

Often the vase should make up one half to one-third the size of the total arrangement (for example, three-foot tall gladiolus need a 12 - 18" vase). DO make sure the container has appropriate water-holding capacity in proportion to the quantity and size of the flowers (sunflowers don't fit in a bud vase, for example). |

Plus it's an economical way to try out new and different flowers! Select a narrow necked vase and fill with water. Cut flower stem to about twice the height of your vase. Strip stem so that no leaves will be covered by water. Place flower in vase. To give added support and beauty, add a stem or two of linear foliage or a curly twig. Last, to give your bud vase an elegant, balanced look, insert a few small leaves at the rim of the vase. |  |
