Well, that's what they look like, right? He warned me they were on the verge of falling apart, another he picked up disintegrated in his hands.
A little online sleuthing and I discovered they're the top portion of cedar cones.
Turning them over I see it. Pretty cool aren't they?

They are beautiful. Such a lovely rich chocolatey colour. Andrew has a good eye.
ReplyDeleteHe surprises me now and then!
DeleteOh, I love cedar cones! They are so beautiful - and also so sticky! You made good use of them in that beautiful still life.
ReplyDeleteAH...good to know about the sticky part, in case I see any I'll know to be careful when I pick them up.
DeleteThey are beautiful - I'd be wanting more - I could get creative with these beauties!
ReplyDeleteYes, more would be good...
DeleteIt's always a good thing when a husband brings something like that home, just because he thought you'd appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteRight?!
DeleteBeautiful creation. Plants are artists, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe original.
DeleteWhat an interesting find.
ReplyDeleteI love them! And what a serendipitous find.
ReplyDeleteI keep many natural treasures I find on my walks. Not only are they beautiful but they lasts longer than any bouquet of flowers. It's difficult tossing them, even after time had passed.
ReplyDeleteYou've made a lovely display: what's the long branch with the curly leafs?
That's a Mahonia eurybracteata "branch"... the leaves look like curly ribbon!
DeleteYes, they are very awesome, and they look great in your arrangement. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
