Tu Bishvat - the Festival Of The Trees - will be celebrated in Israel shortly and it's customary on this occasion to decorate dining tables using fruit and greenery.
The main streets of Hod Hasharon are lined with citrus trees that are currently laden with kumquats and so I put these to use in this easy-make fruit 'n floral arrangement.
Place a large jar in a wide-mouthed vase - I used an empty bottle of Nescafe - and fill the space between the jar and the edge of the vase with kumquats.
Fill the jar with water and place co-ordinating flowers inside.
This versatile idea can be adapted to suit a variety of different table settings.
Try beach sand, starfish and a few shells with white blooms for a beach theme.
Fill your vase with sunflower seeds in their shells and place sunflowers in the jar for a breakfast setting.
Go with red chillis and full blown red roses for a red-hot Valentine's display.
Break the budget and fill your vase with brightly coloured jellybeans then add assorted gerberas for a kid's party with panache.
You're limited only by your imagination!
