Martha Stewart Living, February 1997

Orphaned teacups make perfect little temporary pots for young myrtle trees that can then be used as gifts, party favors, or place settings. Put a thin layer of gravel in each cup. Plant topiaries in potting soil, and cover the dirt's surface with moss. Place near a window, and water when dry. After a week or so, transplant to a pot with a drainage hole.

    Where can I find the Myrtle Trees? I've never seen anything like them at my local nurseries.

    These would make great centerpieces for a Wedding Reception, or a Grand Tea Party.
