What a cool idea! And I even have enough 'flowers'! What would be extremely difficult to obtain would be the approval of the powers that be, my LSW...

It was a lot of fun, Young Miss!
And probably the easiest household project we've ever done...

Good point, Wild Bill...
Some Hobgoblin deuces and maybe the odd Grolsch or two...

Sir Strat,
Cool idea and I also think it's so cute (aawwww) how you and the Mrs. did this project together. Makes it even more special!! (Especially after preparing the blooms!) hehe   Woo Hoo!

Strat - I'll help decorate the next one...though I recommend some 12 ounce
brown bottles thrown in just to mix it up

That's it exactly, Corbin!
Except for some reason, mine has more blooms!

Are you talking about something like this....

A "Southern Bottle Tree"

I've been trying to cultivate the perfect blossom for years, TK!

How cool is that?!! You will now be led on excursions to find the "perfect" blossom.

Hey! That sounds neat. I don't need any help with the blooms though.
They seem to just appear in the trash. Don't know where they come from!
Roses from me and from Bo =^..^= the wonder dog!

I'm sure it was carefully tended, too, Will!

We haven't had much wind lately, Hagi.
I'm kind of interested in that, myself.

Just wait until you see it, Kayzaman!

I'm sure cans will grow as well as bottles, Spinner!

Strat, I never had a bottle tree, but when I was living alone in the
woods I did have a beer can garden LOL

I'm looking forward to seeing the photos... And what happens when the wind blows?
