Dried flowers diaries April 2014

Posted on by Ruth

Florida flowers in the Easter holidays

This Easter we took our kids to Orlando for a fortnight for the theme parks. So apologies for it being so quiet on the blog – by the time I had spent a week packing and a week catching up, that was April gone!

My favourite park was Disney’s Epcot, which happened to have a flower show on while we were there. I absolutely loved the vibrant planting

Mickey mouse and all his friends were faithfully reproduced in plants using some kind of creeper.

And because of my business name, I’m a sucker for a daisy photo. These were growing wild on the verges in the Orlando area, and about a foot tall.

Dried flowers projects – pressed flower necklaces coming soon

On the dried flower project front, I did pick up some blank lockets while I was out there, which will be perfect for a pressed flower necklace.

So watch this space!
