I'm sure Y'all have seen the videos and tutorials on social media with folks making cucumber roses.
Looks so easy to do.
But I found it wasn't so easy for me!
I'll use the arthritic hands as an excuse, perhaps!
So instead of little cucumber roses, I made a mini Cucumber Rose Bowl.
I used a small dip bowl to hold the cucumber rose.
If you use a bigger bowl, you'll need to calculate for more cucumber slices.
For my bowl, I thinly cut 16 slices of cucumber with a knife.
Then, using a peeler, I sliced 16 more thinner slices.
Next, they were gently patted dry with an absorbent paper towel.
I lined the dip bowl with the thicker slices of cucumber, overlapping, and set it aside.
One thin cucumber slice was put on the top of a board. The other slices overlapped in a horizontal line.
From the bottom, it was rolled up and put in the centre of the bowl lined with the thicker cucumber slices.
Arrange the cucumber petals to your liking.
If you feel it needs a few more, add more slices.
I used my Cucumber Rose Bowl to decorate a small cheese platter for a surprise 'Wine & Cheese Date' with my husband.
He just loved it!
To finish off the platter even more, I added a few brightly coloured garden blooms to the plate.
These flaming orange blooms are from the bulbous plant, Crocosmia Masoniorum.
The Cucumber Rose Bowl would be a fabulous addition to a larger cheese board or cold canape platter.
