can buy all sorts of spring flowers really cheaply now, and the way to make the best of them is to be lavish-spend the same money and get double the quantity.

Take two vases, one tall, one short, and put a bunch in each. Then stand them one behind the other. If your vases are both the same height, sland one on an in- verted bulb bowl or a polished wooden box.
