Newsletter chitchat - April 25

I know, I keep chatting and showing off those miniature plants.

I still have room for a few more. Do you have recommendations? Green plants are nice, but adding some colors could be interesting too.

Let's chat.

Interesting idea. I'd have to figure out a way to replicate the shape and texture, but definitely interesting.

That looks great! I love the idea of the coffee too!  I haven't had time to play with all that great designs they have to just play with!

Or maybe some kind of flowering tree, like a cherry tree with blossoms or a pretty maple in the fall.  You know how you can buy them when they are small, and they are in big pots.  I know a bonsai would be hard to do. If anyone can pull it off, it's you.  of course it's spring so a little long rectangular planter box of tulips would be nice too.

Did you try a moth orchid? Your miniatures are lovely. I can see how it can be addictive.

I am not too familiar with flowers but searching online, it seems like the one I made. Do you have an image?

[fiona cook]

I have one flowering at the moment with some pretty colours. You may have made a similar one already.

I have this one:

[fiona cook]

The flowers are more dainty on yours.

How about a Bird of Paradise plant (Strelitzia) because it's quite sculptural.

I think it might just be the angle of photo. After glueing the flowers, they kind of moved and ended up almost aligned, which was not the initial plan!

Yeah, that might be a good one to try! And it is colorful too!

I am very much enjoying your work with miniature plants. They look so cute!

I don't know if they can be replicated on this tiny scale, but as you mentioned adding colors, I thought of those two: violet and begonia...

I already have a violet! But the begonia might be something to look into.

No plan for anything for the store. The activities will be in the Campus this weekend.
