First Place Arrangement
Campfire coffee pot is the Title for this little diddy. Using Rose and White Cone Flowers and a Dried Grass with seed sprig.
Special Pictures
First Place - Best of Department and Best of Show. It doesn't look like much from the pic, but it's been growing on the cactus wood for about 25 years and has the dainty blooms that are on the middle/right of the pic. What a thrill for Mom, who has been growing this Orchid for so many years.
