With winter advanciidm
all the snow, wet and long
grey days WDO„ brightened
up the morning by having
Kathy Whiteford, from the
Flet,wer Basket, join the
group. Kathy gave a beautiful
demonstration on making
dried flower arrangements.
She brought several con-
tainers for the center pieces
along with a piece of bark and
a piece of driftwood she had
found on the beach. There are
several varieties of dried
Dmworu^aod most of them are
all natural such as the
Thistle, Fibre F|oworo^ Ball
Berrieo, Babies Breath and
.BuunyTai\m.
Others,Kathy bm
were daisy like fiowers. Their
stems and centres were
natural and the petals were
made from wood shavings
and others from Out' seeds,
like pumpkin seeds.
The EyorlaodnQflower was
quite unique booauam the
flower opens andcldseu with
the amount oYbuo`id4 in the
home. Old glass dishes and
such as are found. at
auctions. make stunning
coritalners for arrangements.
Kathy started her
'arrangements, by i
the top of glas,s and oasis with
a delicate group of tiny white
flowers called German Statis,
Start the arrangement by
using the taller pieceS,flrotto
forrn the shape you want.
Many dry flowers can be
found during the winter. and
early spring in fields or you
can dry your own. This is
done by hanging flowers
upside down in a dry place
such as near a furnace. The
Flower Basket get a lot of
their dried flowers from
BuvupnundMexioo.
While Kathy made ,up the
arrangements she answered
several gueodorA the girls
had on house p>ahta. One
question was on keeping
geraniums over the winter.
Cut slips off the plant and
keep them in water or wet
sand in the basement to start
them. rooting so you have a
new plant- each spring. You
can atso try storing the old
plant in the basement over
the winter but it must be kept
watered.
How oft000do house plants
need plant food? F|oVvering
plants should be fed once a
.wook. Foliage or plants that
do not b\oom, such as the
C,ou,n, only needs' ,it, oncp a
month.
do •Spider plants 'turn
bro'wn! This is caused by the
leaves being ouched as they
are very sensitive. Ferns,u,o
also like this and you must be
very careful not to .brush
ugo|��t them or' touch the
leaves when watering them.
Mpyt plants should be
sprayed with a fine mist of
^wuter every day especially in
the vdnt»,uy nm,dhumey are
fairly dry then. Don't spray
any plants with a fuzzy leaf,
such usAfrican Violets.
Cactus plants should -never
be watered as they require 'a
very dry soil. Alt they need is
to be sprayed with .a mist of
water once umonth. _
The dried flowers can be
purchased in bunches of
various kinds then you Can
create your own master
pioous. If your arrangement
gets dusty all you hve to do
is revere your vacuum
cleaner tu'blow and blow the
ustn
If you with
any small
dishes witb a chip out of the
top but are reluctant to throw
them away for sentimental
reasons you can arrange
drie,d �flowero in tbu�.
muNn�ereal show pieoe,
What better way to start a
morning off ithe winter than
with flowers. Thanks to
Kathy, Y«Nteyurd, the ladies
really enjoyed it.
WDO members wish all a
very MERRY CHRISTMAS
and a happy and prosperous
NEW EAn.
