Cathy, at Rambling in the Garden, who hosts the weekly garden meme featuring flowers from our gardens (In A Vase On Monday), is celebrating her 13th IAVOM anniversary. To help her celebrate, she has suggested the theme: “This year, I am repeating an earlier challenge, and asking you to pop your material into something other than a vase – try thinking out (in?!) of the box…“
I chose this resin men’s cuff link box, designed to look like a carved, wooden hunting decoy.
I used a fertile frond from an ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris) for wings and tail, while the body is made of silver licorice-plant foliage (Helichrysum petiolare) and flower heads of Verbena bonariensis and Sedum.
Happy anniversary and thanks to Cathy for hosting this addictive meme. Click the link above to join the celebration or see what others are sharing this week.
Creative use of plant materials and container!
nice use of silver licorice plant. Again, and although there are only four ingredients, I need to look closely to distinguish all of the components, particularly the verbena and sedum.
Wait a minute. It is all sedum. Where is the verbena?
What fun 🙂
