See-Through Freesia
A large bubble bowl came become the home to just 5 flowers. Just 5 stems of freesia is all it takes to create a burst of color in a rather sculptural way. All the fragrant stems line the interior of the large round bowl. If desired, for added color, add seasonal fruit or veggies in the bottom of the bowls.
