A Flourish Find
Found these palm leaves on a walk the other day. They were piled in a driveway where landscapers were about to toss them in the trash. The guys thought I was a bit a strange but gave permission for me to grab a bundle and carry them home. I love this natural look. Makes me feel like I'm on vacation in the Caribbean. ( Which I hope to be in the fall when we celebrate our 35 anniversary!) Just getting a little head start.

So beautiful. Those are called Cyperus (Sy-peer-us). We used them alot in the floral class. You can dry them and paint them any color and have them forever. Beautiful. Love you, Lauren
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...so tropical looking. I just put two red tuberous begonias in blue pots on either side of my gardenia in my kitchen window...nothing as nice as the real thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Lauren- I would've just called them palmettos branches-& jackie I'm so with you on growing live, living need to water plants where we can see them everyday. Give anything to see the begonias in your kitchen over a cup of warm Earl Gray
