Denise, Sue and Kristen who work in The Bulb Shoppe often
spray paint the dried flower heads of the large flowered alliums
and they are very popular! Red, white and blue ones
for the 4th of July; orange for Halloween and red and green
ones for Christmas. They even look fabulous as ornaments
on Christmas trees! Be sure and save your large dried allium
flowers and give this natural decoration a try!
