Wow, just look at all the beautiful wreaths. What a diversity. It is so much fun to see what all of you create. Lovey dubby

I have been working on this wreath for about a month. Most everything is rooted in nicely now. I took Larry's advice and added my dried cyclamen seed pods to it along with some cut Sedum 'Autumn Joy', Blackeyed Susan that are stunted because of lack of water during Aug, and blue asters (also stunted from drought). They were the perfect size for this tiny succulent wreath of hardy sedum, sempervivum and some tender succulents.
Can you find the cyclamen seed pods Larry?

What a gorgeous wreath, Lynn! Yes, I can see the seed pods. Nice touch!

As for you, Sharon, I know the truth, and that's what counts!

Be very careful, Larry.
You might be a tiny bit older.
You might even be a tiny bit taller.
But you need to be very very careful.

I see the seed pods too, Lynn, Really beautiful.
