In a vase on Monday: Poinsettia redeux

Right up to New Year's I kept my eye on my Poinsettia arrangement checking the moisture level and removing anything that didn't look perfect. And then I forgot about it until it started drooping precipitously.

Seemed like the perfect time to kiss it goodbye until I realized it was also the perfect time to experiment. So I cut the plant into individual stems and arranged them in a less stiff and formal way than my prior creation. 

I put a kenzan in the bottom of this huge platter/bowl, added polished rocks, a few (now dried) flowers from my first bouquet and a pomegranate. And voila! Flowers to brighten the house for one more wintry week. You can see lots more arrangements at Rambling in the Garden who hosts this Monday meme.

This looks great! Nothing like a redo.

Lisa — ​Too cold to go out shopping and subject flowers to the weather between the store and the car. Glad I still have something floriferous to take my mind off our cold weather.​

Loree — ​I owe it all to you!

Fabulous and a sustainable creation. As they say, reduce, reuse and recycle.

A great job of re-purposing, Linda!

Very pretty and stylish looking, and really shows off the beauty of the pomegranate.

Great use of the poinsettia; you did well to keep it going in a pot until now!
