It's got to be fresh for what I need it for. I need it to look like it looks in the field. They make a skinny florist wire to hold them up and change the water frequently. Nope, no wires allowed. It's for a fair entry. No wire, no tape, no nuthin' cept' water and a vase. (I suppose there could be something added to the water but it can't be visible.) Ah I thought so. I used to be a devoted fair flower arranger. Entered every bloomin' class. It was a good way to make garden money, but it sure did take over your life!! I only discovered the fair last year. Had two entries in the flower class, seven in the Arts and Crafts. Cleaned up in Arts and Crafts but in the intervening year, I took the Master Gardener course and I'm now scheduled to work the fair during the flower show this year. There is one entry called, "Road To The Fair" where you are supposed to find the stuff for the arrangement ON THE WAY to the fair. Last year everyone used QAL and every single one looked like crap by judging time. I'm only playing around with the thought of entering this year but I thought I'd be ready in case I decided to play the night before the event. Okay, next question: I'm looking for herbs (HAS to be herbs) with common names (or Latin ones if they exist) that have to do with money. I've come up with Pennyroyal and Lamb's Quarters, so far. I need two or three more. Any ideas? Obscure names will do as long as they are really legit. |
