Dear Reader

We can fi nally truly sense that we are heading towards lighter times and note that spring is in the air. We can feel the desire to come out of our snug and cosy winter hideaways, which we have stayed in over the past months. We feel like cleaning, airing out, tidying up and moving the furniture around. Planting spring fl owers in pots. Getting dirt under our nails‌ we can hardly wait. But hold off just a bit with the outdoor activities.

We would like to encourage you to start by waking up spring indoors. Freshen up your home with a good spring cleaning.

This will make you feel so good. Perhaps the walls could also do with new paint? Move your furniture around and remove all of your knick-knacks. Have a look with fresh and critical eyes using only that, which you really like. Pack everything else away in boxes or sell it. For example use the money on a pair of new pillows for the sofa or couple of new decorations, which you have had your eye on. Make new arrangements. Often things can take on a different character in new arrangements.

In this issue of the magazine we give you lots of inspiration for giving your home a make-over. The theme in this issue is children’s rooms, but the ideas can be used everywhere in your home. Finish off by bringing in fresh tulips and buttercups.

You cannot help but get in the spirit of spring!

Happy reading!

Lonnie and Vivian

Elegant Buttercups

-As beautiful as Roses

Photo, Text and Flowers: Lonnie Würtz Jensen. Flowers: Susanne Sølvsten. Styling: Vivian Christensen/Jeanne d’Arc Living

What is more wonderful here in February than a large bouquet of buttercups?

Or a large pot filled with beautifully coloured buttercups welcoming you at the entrance of your home? Right now is high season using cut flowers in lovely bouquets and decorations as well as putting them in pots.They are even Buttercup: Ranunculus reasonably priced. This graceful flower is absolutely one of our favourites. It is one of the few flowers, which has the same enchanting expression as roses and peonies. Fill your home with these beauties and feel the springtime spirit increasing around you.

Buttercups, which are in the ranunculus family, come in loads of colours and varieties and there are more than 300 different kinds.

Many of them grow wild. The buttercup, which we all know, is one of them. In the later years there have come many secondary varieties, which have both larger flowers and a height, which suits bouquets. Also various smaller types have been grown in pots again with larger flowers. They can be purchased in most flower shops during this time of year. When in pots they are most beautiful when placed in a room, which a bit cooler. Actually the plant thrives outside even down temperatures near the freezing point. So you can advantageously have then outside in pots and in flower boxes during the spring. You can also plant them yourself in the garden. However, they are 4

incredibly difficult. We have tried ourselves many times, but without success.

The bulbs are to be planted in the early summer and the plants will bloom late in the summer. They need to be dug up and stored for the winter, since they do not tolerate frost. The colour spectrum spans from yellow, orange, red and Bordeaux to cooler whites, light pink and aubergine nuances. Some varieties are even multicoloured. One of the most beautiful is white with plum-coloured markings.

Buttercups are also beautiful in bouquets, but in particular as a single flower in a vase or a bottle. Therefore, you get a lot of value for your money when you buy a bunch of buttercups.

Care Indoors during the Spring: In bouquets they keep like most other flowers, so about a week if the water is changed every day. Always place the bouquets somewhere cool at night so that they last longer. In pots they need to be watered often and kept moist. They need to be kept where there is light, but not directly in the sun. If you observe these few rules, you can actually keep a pot with buttercup for a long time. When it has finished flowering you can try planting it out in the garden and see if have more success than we did.

It is a good idea to thread them when using them in decorations. The stalk is hollow, so therefore it can be difficult to use oasis foam, if the stalk is not threaded first.

Decoration in Centrepieces: What you need: various buttercups, freesia, wax plants, eucalyptus, bridal tulle, excelsior (wood shavings), steel wire, oasis foam.

6

What you do: Start by letting an oasis foam absorb water. Cut the flowers and let them absorb water. Thread the buttercups and large pieces of bridal tulle and excelsior. Now make the decoration. Start at the top and move outward and
