Spring is
Here
What better way to
celebrate and bring a little romance into your home than by planting flowers?
No matter where you live, there’s an easy way to spruce up your yard and bring
color to your life.
Some flowers even
do double-duty. Try one of these flowers that are beautiful to look at, but
have other uses, too:
Sunflowers:
gorgeous, tall plants with cheerful yellow petals. Use the seeds for bird
feeders or for salads.
Roses: Just before
your vase of roses starts to wilt, hang the roses upside down (I hang mine from
a curtain rod over kitchen sink) by their stems. Use a rubber band to bunch
them together, and then hang them with some twine. After about a month, you can
take them down and make dried flower arrangements, or make homemade potpourri
with the petals.
Note: Roses are
also edible, but I tried one once and wasn’t too impressed. J
Lavender: This
flower smells so good in a vase of water. Just like roses, you can hang these
flowers upside down to dry. Then use them to make tea, potpourri, or place some
dried flowers inside pillow case for a relaxing, natural sleep.
Do you have other
uses for beautiful flowers? I’d love to hear about them!
