Above: Layer in your sweet pea stems, cutting most of them low enough to fill out the vase, with a few left longer and wilder. Add the ranunuclus, which act as face flowers, in groupings and at varying levels to show off the face of the flowers.

Above: Be sure your radishes are well cleaned and pull of any foliage that has yellowed or has a nibbled-on look.
