This Aechmea x Billbergia, (maybe x Cryptbergia 'Red Burst') in its crackle-glaze planter, sits on my desk. I tucked the moss in because 1) I love moss, 2) misting it will make the Bromeliad happy too. Out of frame sits a vase of the dried centers of Anemone 'Honorine Jobert' flowers. I broke a couple of those centers off, accidentally. Instead of tossing them I stuck them in the moss, then I realized they looked like little mushrooms. Fairy garden mushrooms. Damn, I don't do fairy gardens.

Ha. I know how you dislike fairy gardens, but I bet you do like this one... lets just call it a serendipitous miniature garden. I love it.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of fairy gardens either, but this is quite perfect.
ReplyDeleteFairy-ish or not, I love your desk-top garden!
ReplyDeleteHaha - I guess you DO do fairy gardens now! Nice touch!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Miniatures do capture the imagination.
ReplyDeleteCute! I didn't realize Bromeliads liked being misted.
ReplyDeleteWhen they're being forced to live in our dry home they definitely do.
DeleteBeautiful ! Your best photograph ever ! Happy New Year ! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I had to look at this right away-Seeing the words 'fairy garden' in your post title was a bit jarring I must say. I'm relieved that you are still yourself !
ReplyDeleteWorry not!
DeleteIt's fabulous! We won't worry until you start adding miniatures.
ReplyDeleteYou mean like the little cafe table and chairs I bought? ;)
