Peter Hoang & Nerissa Goco : Glass Bottle Vase w/ Pee Wee Herman Pin

Glass beer or soda bottles can be used as vases for tall slender cuttings. The weightiness of the bottle keeps it upright and steady. The tapered neck and small mouth gathers the stems snuggly together while keeping the arrangement neatly in place. Look for bottles with a nice shape and labels that are easily scrubbed off. To dress it up, drape some pins over the neck. To get extra sparkle, you can loosely fill the bottle with clear glass marbles. This tends to make water changes and rearrangements a bit fussy, though. So, in this case, we didn’t bother. All that was needed for a finishing touch was Pee Wee Herman.

      Good question. I don’t actually know. The flowers are from a shrub in our backyard. The shrub is planted in our neighbours yard and has spread & sprouted up into our yard. We don’t mind. :)
