lemon floral place setting

April 2, 2013

flowers in a lemon

For a great pop of spring color at a place setting, arrange some flowers in a fresh lemon.  Since you only need a few flowers and some lemons to create these cheery floral arrangements, they are an economical way to add some pretty freshness to a spring table.

You will need half of a large lemon for each place set at your table, in addition to some fresh flowers and some floral oasis.  As you can see, I am reusing an old piece of oasis.  After slicing a large lemon in half, cut and remove the insides of each half, keeping the rind intact.  (Don’t waste the insides…I used mine to make Arnold Palmers.)  Cut a piece of floral oasis to fit snugly in each lemon half.  Saturate the oasis so that it is wet but not dripping.

Arrange a few flowers in the color(s) of your choice – purchased or from your garden – in the foam.  You will only need a few for each half.  I have also added a little Spanish moss to mine.

The perfect little arrangement to adorn a place setting :)
