This one here is an old greed bottle that was given to me. All I used to set it off was 2 solid green Hosta leaves and one deep blue Delphinium spire. The sunlight playing off the bottle add an extra dimension to arrangement.

This ones a simple grey vase I picked up. Its terracotta so it wouldn't be waterproof but would be great for dried flowers!

I just pick this tortouse vase up yesterday.

Thats really nice, it would great with some dried berries in it! Or maybe some white strawflowers?

Or maybe both... thank you for your creative imput
It didn't work out for what I got it for...

Of course I'll need to grow some white strawflowers now!! I've never grown them... do they flower pretty quick? I'm going to check it out... uh-oh I see a seed order coming on

If you start them now they should be flowering in August. Thats how it went for me last year which was my first year growing them, but of course my soil isn't very good and last year was an awful summer. So they very well might grow and bloom faster for you this year!
