Bright orange tangerines and yellow lemons add fresh color to a table.

Vary the flowers to fit your mood -- anything from white daisies, orange roses, or purple statice might look wonderful.

Enjoy!

Lemon Daisy Centerpiece

• Bowl, platter, or tray
• 6-10 tangerines
• 6-10 lemons or limes
• a few stems of green leaves
• 8-12 flowers (daisies, roses, mums, etc.)

Arrange fruit in bowl, and place some extra fruit around the base of the bowl.

Cut the flower stems to about 3-6" long and insert between the fruits.

Clip leaf stems into shorter lengths and insert under fruit around the edge of the bowl.

Tip: Flowers may last several hours without water. To make an arrangement last longer, fill the bottom of the bowl with water and cut flower stems long enough to reach down to the water. Or, use floral water tubes for each flower stem.

Tip: Use silk flowers and leaves for a very long-lasting arrangement.
