Two of my favorites-my "vegetable people" and a beautiful, colorful appliqued wall hanging which I found at a thrift shop. It says in the middle-"Let the land burst forth with every sort of seed bearing plant. And so it was". The saying is surrounded by beautiful appliqued flowers.

Of course The Man Of The House was not entirely cool with that, but I do have flowers in my bedroom and leaves in the sitting room (monochrome, but better than nothing!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416049659075671165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-2893799918695227252011-09-04T18:40:31.397-04:002011-09-04T18:40:31.397-04:00Funny I just purchased three botanical prints and ...Funny I just purchased three botanical prints and I keep looking at this one as I have never seen a bloom like it before.

Like Dee, I admired the big floral on the overstuffed chair, since it was all neutral colors. Fake flowers? No. Dried Alliums, Hydrangeas, willow stems...yes.

(The flowers on the chest of drawers made me want to go to a farmers' market to buy fresh cut flowers.) :)Shyrlenehttp://thebunniesbuffet.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-76060763946273484792011-09-04T12:59:29.858-04:002011-09-04T12:59:29.858-04:00I agree with Dee, you need the botanical prints in...I agree with Dee, you need the botanical prints in your dining room!Cindy, MCOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094260737874973235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-79181354572799845542011-09-04T12:57:53.147-04:002011-09-04T12:57:53.147-04:00Love it!

I do however like that green bedside table.

The leaves look cribbed from classic Acanthus motifs. <br /><br />But I could't have fake plants in my house. They'd make me think I failed as a gardener. I'd sooner grow and stage something beautiful, even if it has imperfections.<br /><br />Thanks for a thought-provoking post.Plant Mad Nigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051715161395516677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-80247336675563816332011-09-04T09:37:00.507-04:002011-09-04T09:37:00.507-04:00I'll be honest.
