Flower arranging: spring flower basket

You will need:
3⁄4 pre-soaked Oasis
small bunch eucalyptus
3 white hyacinths
5 white ranunculus
bunch paper-white narcissus
4 lisianthus
3 bouvardia

Step 1
Line basket with plastic to make watertight, then place Oasis in centre.

Step 2
Carefully trim stems of all flowers and eucalyptus. Push eucalyptus into Oasis until it is covered.

Step 3
Push hyacinths into Oasis in a triangular shape. Then add ranunculus and scatter narcissus throughout.

Step 4
Add lisianthus and bouvardia, so they are evenly distributed between white flowers. Note: Keep your Oasis watered, so your flowers will last longer.
