With nothing blooming outside, I made flowers from assorted discarded bits and attached them to a branch. The branch went into a pot which was the former home of a rosemary plant that did not make it through the winter. You could also use a can or a jar. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_B7gY6DksAuw/R-LLUla3CgI/AAAAAAAAAk0/JSIPbmBEq_Q/s1600-h/britta.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_B7gY6DksAuw/R-LLUla3CgI/AAAAAAAAAk0/JSIPbmBEq_Q/s200/britta.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179926075932084738" /></a><br />I used circles and squares of assorted materials including Britta water filter packaging, netting from cherry tomatoes, a plastic bag that held grapefruits, oreo cookie wrapping, tea bag containers, and the protective foil under the lid of the yogurt container. I used ties saved from bread and bags to twist and hold the flower.Susan Kapuscinski Gaylordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10174952588173490738noreply@blogger.com
