July 4th dilly


What does this remind you of?


Aerial "peony" fireworks?

Instead of traditional red, white, and blue whatevers,
how about bringing these bursting "fireworks" to your buffet table
for the decorations?

A large bouquet for a fountain-effect centerpiece or several smaller vases
festooning the length of the table will bring the highlight of the day's festivities to mind.  Pyrotechnics!

This bouquet is made with dill.  This is one flower head. Arranging this couldn't be easier.  Cut one flower head and put it in your selected container, and then add a stem or two of contrasting leaves.

Dill is easy to grow and sometimes you find it growing wild.  
This dill was picked from my garden. 
It volunteered from a plant grown last year. 
Fourth of July or not, I think this is a nice way to bring a bit of the
outdoors inside, whenever dill is found.
