How to Fashion a Perfect Posy

Create a cheery bouquet of spring daffodils to brighten up any table.

Gather chenille-covered wires cut into four 3-inch pieces, scissors, two dozen daffodils and a glass vase. We used a rounded Italian canning jar.

Group six flowers in one hand and arrange the flowers with the blooms facing outward.

Place one of the chenille-covered wires at the base of the flower heads.

Gently twist the wire to hold the stems together and support the flower heads.

Cut the stems to fit the height of the jar. Ideally, the stems should be long enough to reach the jar's bottom but short enough for the blooms to rest on the jar's edge.

Continue filling the jar with your clusters of daffodils. We like to experiment with different combinations-an all-yellow bouquet, a duo of yellow and white blooms or a mix of varieties. 

Your finished bouquet shows off the daffodils' simple stems and supports their gorgeous blooms. Remember to change the water daily to keep the bouquet fresh.
