Happy March!

It’s one of my favorite days of the month when I join my

Monday Morning Blooms’ friends to share some flower therapy.

We’re excited to welcome back

joining us as a guest ‘bloomer’ today.

You can find my flower friends’ links to their beautiful floral and table inspiration at the bottom of this post.

Our common theme for this month’s edition of Monday Morning Blooms was ‘blooming bulbs’.

To create an easy blooming centerpiece I started with a galvanized garden container / planter.

You can use any kind of wooden box, crate or basket to build your centerpiece.

I love using potted bulbs from the garden center or supermarket in the spring!

They’re an affordable alternative to cut flowers,

 as your bulbs can be planted in your garden after the flowers fade to enjoy next spring.

To create my spring centerpiece, I started with 4 pots of fragrant hyacinths and 2 bunches of tulips.

🐇 To build your blooming centerpiece, water your potted bulbs thoroughly and remove them from their plastic pots so you have more room to work in your container.

🐇 Line your container with plastic if needed to protect it or if it’s not watertight.

🐇 You can plant directly in your container or to keep things tidy and for less clean up, place the bulbs with their soil in plastic bags. I used plastic grocery bags.

🐇 Arrange the bulbs in your container so they appear as if they’re growing together.

🐇 Next, I tucked in mason jars and filled them with water, and added tulips from the grocery store.

🐇 Last, fill in around your blooms and cover the top of your bulbs with moss to finish your centerpiece.

I used Green Preserved Spanish Moss to top my flowers in my container.

Alternatively, use decorative paper shred or Easter basket ‘grass’ for a festive alternative, HERE

Here is my finished centerpiece. . .

if you don’t stop to take photos, you can assemble it in less than 10 minutes!

I tucked in two small bunnies in the moss among the flowers, because that’s how my garden grows. . .

Or doesn’t grow! 🐰

Here is how the container looked three days later with the hyacinths and tulips opening up.

Here’s a fun fact about tulips that you may or may not know:

Cut tulips continue to grow in the vase and will gain 2 – 3 inches in height!

This easy method allows you to easily remove your tulips and give them a trim as needed so

 they don’t topple over as tulips are both geotropic (bend with gravity) and phototropic (reach toward light).

Two mossy bunnies joined the centerpiece to hop into March for a spring table. . .

Daffodils, the harbingers of spring, are blooming . . .

I cut a few daffodils to add to Mr. Bunny’s basket that originally came with some not-too-cute carrots I removed.

A recycled small bottle holds water for the daffies with Spanish moss concealing the bottle.

Bunnies are hopping into spring, frolicking on the tablecloth, among flowers and watering cans. . .

 Watering can napkins and chargers add galvanized accents,

framing black and white check plates and green embossed bunny plates.

Colorful floral napkins join green and white checks . . .

Fortessa Debutante Glass Goblets offer additional blooms with an embossed floral design in the pressed glassware.

Are you ready to hop into spring? 🐇
