Teacher Appreciation day was on our horizon, and I wanted to do something special for my boys’ teachers. I always feel happier around flowers and thought it would also brighten the teachers’ days to have some lovely flowers.

Discover how to easily make these vases for someone special or keep it around to decorate your own home.

How to make a citrus flower arrangement for your home
It’s lime season at the Lam household which means lots of lime-aide, freshly squeezed lime to enhance our food, and yes, even limes in my flower arrangements! We have an AMAZING cocktail tree in the backyard. This tree has grafts of many citrus fruits in a single tree so you do not get a huge amount of each citrus when the season arrives. We get Meyer lemons, grapefruits, limes, and mandarin oranges all in one tree! Cool, right? If you live in a zone where you can grow citrus, I highly recommend this tree (I would say zone 7 or lower). Now for the flower arrangement; you could create this arrangement with Meyer lemons, fruits that are a little more cold hardy (would do ok in zone 8).

The cupcakes and all the other details of this party were so special!
DIY Flower Arrangements
Arrange your own flowers using one or two colors from your theme rather than purchasing a pre-made arrangement. For example, my flower choices for this party were hydrangeas and peonies in various shades of pink with white for contrast.
