Cinco de Mayo: Get festive with flowers

by Jacqueline

If you're celebrating Cinco de Mayo, flowers are a fun way to get festive.

Bright yellow flowers

Brighten up your gathering with tall clear vases of sunflowers or other bright yellow flowers. Adding whole lemons and limes to the vases provides an instant burst of vibrant color in an unexpected way. (As always with fresh flowers, make sure there is fresh water in the vase.) To give your arrangement unusual texture, layer the bottom of the vase with decorative glass pieces.

Thanks for this tip to Tom Simmons, who runs Three Bunch Palms Productions in Palm Springs, Calif., threebunchpalmsproductions.com, and is the current president of the American Institute of Floral Designers, aifd.org.

Flower Fact of the Day: A mini-protein found in sunflowers could be the key to stopping the growth of tumors in prostate cancer patients, according to university researchers. To read the full story, visit Science Daily at: sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080501091359.htm.
