Awesome! How'd you dye it blue?

I got a red solo cup

squirted in some artists blue acrylic paint(1 part) inside and added water (4-ish parts) to dilute it

dunked the flowers and hung to dry (x3)

then used them for the wreath.

hope that helps

That wreath is very pretty.  

How long does it take lemon balm to bloom? My plant is in its second year and no blooms yet.

Mine I think took 2 years. By year 3 it's hard to keep it from blooming.

Work smarter, not harder.

Thanks, Amit. I am learning a lot of plants don't bloom until year three.

my bad, the dyed flowers are "Lemon Bee Balm"

they are annual and used for teas too.

Looks really nice. This gives me an idea for my next Christmas wreath.
 
So you made a portal in time and started grabbing people. This tiny ad thinks that's rude:
