To prepare for use, you must r emove the midrib, or bone, from the center of each leaf. Turn the shiny side down, cut into the bone about five to eight inches from the beginning of the stem. Do not cut all the way through or make a hole in the leaf. Work the bone out with both thumbs, pushing up on the broken bone and pulling the top of the leaf down. Carefully push and work toward the stem until you can peel the bone away.
Love is a wreath to be worn always.
