Why we love dish flowers!-Mainly, we, at Flea market Gardening, love ceramics of any kind! We love the idea of using recycled and unloved dishes in our favorite places, our gardens. Even off season we can get some color there. We love the search for just the right colors, patterns and sizes to complete the project. That’s part of the fun! Making dish flowers can be done in or outdoors and in any season, too.

    When you attach the stem up into the bottle, how do you stabilize the dish flower. Mine keeps turning from side to side. I am using glass bottles.
