Pansies and Weddings Go Together

prospect — Wed, 01 May 2013 14:39:31 +0000

Pansies are such a simple flower. They speak to me of the simplicity of love (and marriage). Pansies and weddings go together well. Here’s how I’d use them. Buy pre-planted larger pots, wrap in plastic wrap then in gift wrap, florist paper, burlap, brown paper wrap or cloth. Tie with an appropriate ribbon or piece of raffia. You can do this with the small pots, too. IF you have a favorite bowl, jar, small basket or other container, drop the pot into a waterproof bag (or even a Ziplock) and then into the container. Push the edges of this waterproofing material down to hide it. Dress with sheet moss, Spanish moss or common mulch. http://www.finegardening.com/plants/articles/pansies-make-perfect-pots.aspx?utm_source=email&utm_medium=eletter&utm_content=20130401-pansies&utm_campaign=fine-gardening-eletter

Bottle trees cure for “last day of winter”

Blue things in the landscape are rare. Blue wine bottles are fairly rare. Blue glass, blue wine bottles—in the shape of a bush or small tree—also rare. Still, I want one. Today is a grey, dreary day with rain, sleet and now SNOW!!! (at 3:45 pm). Clearly we need something to cheer us up here in Mountain City while Prospect Hill B&B Inn awaits new guests. While online I’ve been looking at a big page about BOTTLE TREES posted by my gardening friend Felder Rushing. He has a book out on all manner of bottle trees and glass yard art. It occured to me the other day, when I tripped over my blue bottle collection, that the time is ripe for a bottle tree ! I have about a dozen blue wine bottles in hand (various shades and wish I had more awua ones). So, yes, it is time for ME to start one, too. I’m going to post choice photos from his site and the link. His books are fun and wonderful–just like Felder himself. Enjoy the images and the book!

There’s a funny thing about spring–it gets here whether you want it or not. This year I think we all want it to get here–quickly, beautifully and as fast
