Butterfly Garden Arrangement

1. Start by positioning water-soaked florist foam in a pedestal bowl. Any ceramic container will work.Cover the top of the foam with decorative sheet moss, hiding all edges.

2. Cut snapdragon stems at an angle, and insert them into the foam. The flowers and stems should be 12 to 15 inches long. You will need about 12 stems spaced evenly.

3. Repeat with ranunculus, varying the stem lengths. Use taller flowers in the center and shorter ones on the sides.

4. Carefully hold the bottom of each ranunculus stem when inserting it. If it is crushed, insertion will be difficult and blooms will wilt quickly. You will need about 24 ranunculus.

Finish by adding silk butterflies. We found ours at www.silkfever.com, but most crafts stores carry them.
