Very nice Terri. I wonder if there is bear grass over here? I noticed the florist in town has closed down. I wonder why?
I pruned a tree for a lady today and she called it "Mt Morgan wattle". I havent googled it yet, but I thought it looked like "Argyle Apple" which is the florists Eucalypt, so I've got a sink full of it. It looks as though it might be about to flower, so I left some branches on as I am going back over the next 2 weeks to garden. I bought 3 oasis blocks today and saw many nice vases and vessels, but resisted the urge. (pat myself on the back)
I'm not sure what to do as it is pouring rain since this afternoon (feel webs growing between my toes) so I don't have any material to put with it. I might just put it in a vase on its own anyway. We'll see how long it lasts. Both previous arrangements have survived well, and I have refreshed the water each day.
I am off camping, (rain, hail, or shine) tomorrow as it is a long weekend over here, with australians celebrating "Australia day" on Monday. Traditionally lots of BBq's and drinking at the beach, camping e.t.c. Being so wet, it will make things interesting. So don't despair if I'm not around. Have a coffee without me and I hope to see lots of nice interesting arrangements when I get back.
