Brighten Up Christmas Dinner Table

While we can’t go anywhere under California’s regional stay home order throughout the holidays, this is something you can do to brighten up your Christmas dinner table.

Sasanqua Camellia produces small flowers prolifically from November through December in Northern California.  Sasanqua is not suited for cutting flowers because petals drop quickly and branches are short, but you can replace them with new blooms quite easily.  This Christmas centerpiece can be easily made with everyday kitchenware, small flowers and foliage.  These tiny green glass jars are recycled from shot-size plum wine containers.  You can substitute them with yogurt jars, shot glasses or small mason jars.

Materials:  Sasanqua Camellia (Setsugekka and Apple Blossom), Echeveria, Formosa firethorn, Japanese Anemone’s pistils, Lavender (Meerlo) leaves, Cousin Itt Acacia, Dusty Miller, Leucadendron (Jubilee Crown), Pine, Pinecones, Noble Fir, Juniper, Vine Lilac, Cilantro flowers
