Dahlia season here in West Michigan.


It's been an amazing Dahlia season here in West Michigan... with the delay of frost...

So I thought I would show you a fast easy way to make a dahlia arrangement... (you can use other flowers from the garden too)...

Fill your bowl with COLD Water... I prefer water that's actually been in the refrigerator... (or you can add ice)... add Chrysal CVBn Tablets... (I used 3 for this vase as it holds 3 liters of water)... read and measure!

Add stems of greenery... I cut mine in the garden- Lemon Ball, 9 Bark, Scented Geranium... crossing the stems across the wide mouth of the bubble bowl vase..

Next cut and place your 3 largest blossoms in a triangle shape... with the stems crossing... the stems should just touch the bottom of the vase... too long and they may "JUMP OUT"...

Next place 3 more larger blossoms between the other three... again setting the blooms on the edge of the vase...

You can also add other flowers- I included a Ornamental Kale and Hydrangea in this step as well...

Then add in more flowers-... I used different sizes of dahlias to fill in the middle of the arrangement and a few other garden flowers...

Fill in flowers until you are satisfied... remember to enjoy the arranging the process... you're releasing endorphins that cause relaxation and stress to melt away!!!

Place your arrangement where everyone can admire it... or where you see it often... it also might be a great gift!!


P.S. That was easy... and now you'll be arranging like a PRO! Enjoy
