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.
