Yes, it's a Confed. rose and thank you. I used tweezers to "arrange" the sticks and mosses after I pushed them into the ball. Took about 2 minutes for each ball. Probably could have been prettier if I'd taken some time with them. I saw a photo in Better Homes & Gardens and copied it. Not sure how long they'll last, but thought it would be fun to give the neighbors. The Tillandsias I already had and the moss and fungi was growing on branches I picked up in front yard.
That's a really pretty fence (can a fence be pretty?). Are those solar lights on the posts?

I took my grandson for a walk today down behind the houses toward the creek. I didn't plan to go as far as we did, but had my cell phone just in case. We found so many plants with seed pods still on them because we haven't had rain or much wind. I picked a few to throw in front bed. He picked up every tree limb, rock, etc. I dragged a bag of stuff back up the hill. We did find a huge rock filled with fossil shells that he wanted to cart back....but it'll take going back with the truck to get it home!
Linda, I fenced an acre when we lived in Tucson. DH had put up the posts when he had to go "play war" and left me with a Great Dane, a 5 yr old, and a new pool that had to be filled. Sooooo....I went out every morning and nailed boards till I got it done. DH got home in time to make the gates.
