A Spring Bulb Arrangement with a Tea

I have discovered I can create bulb arrangements for spring. This vintage Kraft cheese box was perfect for what I had in mind.

I am having pomegranate tea in my Brambly Hedge spring teacup with my spring arrangement. 

This was way easier to create than I thought it would be. I lined the cheese box with a heavy plastic bag and cut the little bulb boxes to fit snug against each other in the box. I spaced them out as I arranged them and then covered it all with sheet moss. I watered that in and waited overnight till I finished it. The sheet moss came alive, so to speak, after being watered overnight. I made some holes in the soil with a pencil and tucked in some already bloomed-out grape hyacinths. The ones in this arrangement did not bloom out at the same time as the daffodils. The other thing I added was some branches from my lilac bush, which were just starting to blossom. 

 

A spring tea seems fitting to celebrate the change of seasons.
