The Single Vase Rule

French flowers arrive in small quantities and often as one variety. A bunch of the same thing, cut short, in a plain vase. Mixed bouquets with filler are read as a supermarket gesture.

Buy one bunch of a single flower this week, cut the stems much shorter than feels right, and put them in a plain glass vase. Short stems change everything.
