1. Tulips in a mason jar

Cut tulip stems short, fill a wide mason jar with cold water, and tie a strip of gingham around the neck. Tulips keep bending toward the light, which gives the arrangement a relaxed, natural sway.

2. Hyacinth bulbs in glass

Balance a hyacinth bulb in a glass vase so its roots just touch the water. The fragrance fills a whole room, and you can watch the roots grow day by day.

3. Daffodil bunch in a blue pitcher

Gather a big handful of daffodils and drop them in a vintage enamel pitcher. The yellow against blue is cheerful and needs no arranging skill whatsoever.

4. Cherry blossom branches in a tall vase

Cut a few blossoming branches and place them in a tall clear vase. Their airy, pink cloud sets the tone for the whole entrance hall.

5. Lilac sprigs in tiny bottles

Line small glass bottles along a windowsill with one lilac sprig in each. The scent drifts through the room, and the cluster looks deliberate and pretty.

6. Ranunculus in a painted tin

Wrap an old tin can in pastel paint and fill it with ranunculus. The many-layered petals look extravagant, but a bunch costs very little at a market.

7. Sweet pea and eucalyptus jar

Mix sweet peas with eucalyptus leaves in a jar tied with lace. The soft green and pale pink combination looks fresh and lasts several days.

8. Hand-tied wildflower posy

Pick cornflowers, daisies, and grasses from a meadow and tie them with twine. Slip the posy into a jam jar and place it next to a bed for a little morning cheer.
