For an attractive display, buy a tall, cylindrical transparent vase and line with coloured glass beads or stone chips. When half full, insert sturdy stems, choosing flowers that match the chips or beads.
Fill the vase to the brim with more beads and then carefully pour in water.
Or have the flowers embedded on a florist’s frog (a tablet with teeth to hold stems) placed at the bottom of the vase first, then fill.
