What a conversation piece bloom, looks like it could be an animal as opposed to a plant! Too bad these get too big for us to grow. :-(

Great idea! How long do they last? Costly? I imagine so being that it's so exotic looking.

Shoot, even Costco carries them sometimes. This summer I bought them from a stand at the Marin Farmer's Market. I just went nuts over them. Yes, they last a long time and even dry they can be very attractive. They get cheaper and cheaper.
