Thanks for the heads up about Anthropologie, I'll check it out. Boiling water...sounds like too much work! I used one of those flame "guns" people use to start gas grills, worked like a charm. Tillandsia watering - they get a nice long soak in the kitchen sink once a week. Then they're tipped upside down to dry on a towel. That's a very important step to keep them from rotting out in the center.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-1279019560037722422016-02-23T08:35:56.808-08:002016-02-23T08:35:56.808-08:00Interesting.

They look fabulous with all those killer branches. I must say, however, that the Leucothoe fontanesiana 'Rainbow' looks great in the vase but I don't think I could live with it in my garden. And you can grow those beautiful Arcostaphlos; they look like Pieris flowers to me. We can only grow the ground cover bearberry version, so the size and variety in your climate continually surprise me.LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-66457014748999997992016-02-22T12:24:11.216-08:002016-02-22T12:24:11.216-08:00Such creativity.

I love the combination of plants you put together and would dearly love to have that Leucothoe were it not such a thirsty creature.

Lol. ....I don't feel as much of a total slacker this fine Monday morning. However now that I think about it even on your vacations you work overtime for us all to enjoy! <br />Love this post - amazing and fun to see all of your interpretations - and thank you for the arcto sentinel - I don't have that one and must plant asap - what a pretty! <br />I'm impressed by your cuts on the philodendron - <br />do you want to join me in SF for the May exhibit at the de young?? <br /><br />Those thorns..... Oh my. I'm way to clumsy to have anything like that around - I'd poke my eye balls out. I say this still suffering from a cactus attack on my thumb when I knocked a small one off the windowsill and tried to catch it! Sigh <br /><br />Will you teach a class on the paper flowers?? :) <br />Btw anthro at Bridgeport has a nice hanging installation in the back of their shop right now if you happen to be over there - it's fun to gaze upon - it's in a little skylight bay - it gives the sense they are falling out of the sky. <br /><br />Happy Monday from Big Sky - :) thanks for the cheer. Love this! <br />Oh btw our friends drive here from Vancouver BC and stayed over in Spokane - they had a great time there - and - the inflight magazine on Alaska is featuring whole spread on Spokane they did a really nice job. I should grab one for you on the return flight if you haven't seen it. <br /><br />Oh and have you tried searing in boiling water? I haven't yet. I tried searing using a candle and kept putting my candles out .... Lol. <br /><br />I've been meaning to ask you - What is your airplant watering protocol??<br /><br />did I send this twice?? Can't tell on my phone :(. But if so just read the last two comments ;) Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/15218426033383588391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-77235460970968735502016-02-22T10:38:02.602-08:002016-02-22T10:38:02.602-08:00Chic, thanks!
