This arrangement was inspired by seeing some delicate Chinese paintings which I very much enjoyed. The vase photograph is from a different angle as my son looked and said : ” Try this!”
Some I hang upside down .
Others I give a small amount of water to stand in as they dry.(
Then others are left lying flat .
These tulip magnolia flowers from my neighbours’ tree were left in the vase. They were last seen in my post
Tulip Magnolia.
Some facts about tulip trees. They grow very big so best grown outside. They take 15-20 years to bloom BUT can continue to bloom for 200 years. Their flowers superficially resemble tulips and the tree drops both petals and a sticky sap difficult to get off cars.
No person taps this free power; the dynamo in the tulip tree pumps out even more tulip tree, and it runs on rain and air.

Definitely a Chinese influence there🥰. (We have central Asian DNA – it must come through on the genes😃). Keep warm and dry.

I absolutely agree, this arrangement does look like a Chinese painting. It’s delicate and I love the shadows in the picture.

Ah, I was so placed it had a spider’s web and little snail. It had “grown” with time.
