In my previous post, I showed a photo of this winter decoration on what in spring and summer is a flower bed (in the cemetery where I often walk). Sandra asked if the trees were planted or potted, and I replied "neither". They're just a very clever illusion, created by branches stuck into the ground:
I love them. that would not work here, they would die in 2 days. not even sure they would survive if planted. they are really clever for sure
ReplyDeleteSandra, it remains to be seen how long they'll keep upright here! ;-)
DeleteOh my GOSH!! Remember, this was one of my favorite photos! This is inventive and kind of clever. Now I wonder how long they will stay alive?? What do you think?
ReplyDeleteGinny, I think it depends a lot on the weather how long they'll stay up. With the winds we're having right now, who knows if they'll even last through the weekend! - It is the tradition here to cover the flower beds on graves (and other flower beds in the cemetery as well) with branches of spruce over winter. Whether lying flat or arranged some other way, they'll all be removed when it's time to start planting spring flowers.
DeleteI wonder if they will root and grow into trees?
ReplyDeleteCarol, even if they should want to root (not very likely, in winter!) I don't think they'll be allowed to! (cf my reply to Ginny above)
