Well, I agree with Sacha. What a work of art, and a "labour of love"
knowing it won't last.
Top-posting-Mike, have you never seen the annual "well dressing"
pictures in Derbyshire?



Pam in Bristol


I went with the local Civil Service Pensioners Alliance to Arundel to the
Festival of the Flowers and thought the same thing then. Have you seen the
minute detail? Flowers pulled off their stems? Small bits of evergreen
hedging for the background? I am not disputing the art, but would you be so
ecstatic if your children/neighbour's children had made a 'Work of art' on
your path with the heads of your flowers? In the words of a long since
vanished troll "I think not"

Kindest possible regards

Mike
