Only in Southern California — or perhaps Hawaii or similar? — can one have such a Holiday arrangement. Oh my, I first typed “arranglement” — isn’t that perfect? We were doing some path-trimming around our teensy yard, and arrangled these from the large bird-of-paradise shrubs.
The container is one of an asymmetrical pair of lidded jars that are too large to use on a counter top, and since we don’t store quantities of cooking oil or grains, I’ve never had a use for them other than as objects of beauty, which they certainly are, no argument. And now I know: tall flowers? Take the lid off the jar, and voila! A large vase.
Now, where shall I set this gorgeous gift of nature and human endeavor so that (1) guests can enjoy it and (2) the clumsy among us (author included) won’t trip over it?!
Cool arrangement. Always a reminder of my mom, one of her favorite flowers. Thanks for sharing, just a week before what would have been her 109th birthday.
They are rather amazing. No one needs to invent weird flowers or bugs or fish — there are plenty of spectacular ones out there!
