Spring Bulb Arrangement How-To
1. Begin by choosing a vessel for the arrangement, such as a wire basket. Line the basket with sheet moss. Add a layer of landscape fabric.
2. Remove flowering bulbs from their plastic containers. Repot bulbs in your chosen vessel. Add potting soil. Add gardening stakes, if necessary. Embellish.

Special thanks to Rupert Everett ("Blithe Spirit") for joining Martha to make this beautiful arrangement. Landscape fabric is available from jamaligarden.com. Sheet moss and gardening stakes can be found at most garden centers. See more lovely arrangements that have been featured on "The Martha Stewart Show."
What do you do with the bulbs after they've bloomed? Can you save them and plant in the fall? I don't want them to go to waste.
Wondering how long it takes for them to sprout and blossom, and does the whole thing need to be stored at a certain temperature, and how much should it be watered? I suppose the bulb package would have that information.. Lovely project!!
