What Can you do with 3 Minutes and 3 Flowers?

This morning I was all ready for work about 15 minutes early.

What can you do with 15 minutes?

Well, I grabbed my clippers and went out to the deck and clipped one big dahlia that I thought would look good in a Chinese vase. Many of you are probably wondering what can be done with just one flower.

Here is what I did in about 30 seconds:


Right next to the vase I had a pitcher and creamer set. I still had plenty of time and went out and cut two more smaller dahlias.

In less than three minutes I had this little trio, which I think proves that you don't need a full arm load of flowers to make a beautiful bouquet for indoors. I even had time to take pictures before I left for work.
