Permanent Botanicals: Fresh Cut
Kara Cox -- Home Accents Today, 12/1/2005
Fresh cut florals are a favorite look year-round even after the garden has long turned bare. Fresh florist designs are no longer the only way to showcase blossoms, as water garden permanent arrangements offer an easy alternative. Lush bouquets of a single flower variety are showcased best in simple clear glass containers.
