| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 7, 2008 | This is one that I have to give some thought to myself. Will be back with something, now get the thinking caps on friends. |
| terriculture london (UK) April 7, 2008 | good one! will have to think about it too.................. ^_^ |
| weed_woman Coffs Harbour (AU) April 8, 2008 | I don't get it! |
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 8, 2008 | You earned it - You Urned it. Using urns to make arrangements. Hope this helps. |
| weed_woman Coffs Harbour (AU) April 8, 2008 | Doh! Ohhh-arrrrr! Uurrrrrn! Uh-oh! |
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 8, 2008 | By golly I think you've got it! |
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 8, 2008 | ROTFLMAO!! I don't feel so bad about calling Candee, Sue, now. ☺ |
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 8, 2008 | Appears I and my ideas bring out the best of everyone LOL! ^_^ |
| terriculture london (UK) April 8, 2008 | They sure do! ^_^ |
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 8, 2008 | Definition of Urn: a large vase that usually has a pedestal or feet a large pot for making coffee or tea wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn An urn is a vase, ordinarily covered and without handles that usually has a narrowed neck above a footed pedestal. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urn This is what I consider a greek kind of urn and have had it for years full of the contorted willow. This is NOT my urn theme arrangement simply an example of an urn. You decide what an urn is to you! If you haven't noticed I am flexible ^_^
|
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 8, 2008 | Here is the contorted willow, I tried to propagate this a few years ago, but it didn't survive.
|
| weed_woman Coffs Harbour (AU) April 8, 2008 | Thats a disease/virus called Fasciate and it is what makes the Crests on celosias and cockscomb. I've not seen it in willows before, but my Agapanthus got it and came out on flat spiral stems with small heads and many flowers! I'm going on an urn hunt now. I'm sure I've seen one around here. Oops, can't empty out ashes onto the ground............... |
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 8, 2008 | Sue, you do crack me up. I would be glad to burn SOMEONE for you, put "it" in an urn and let you dump it for the urn. No NOT really, but these ideas do cross my mind. ^_^ |
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 9, 2008 | Thanks Sue -, no wonder I couldn't get them to grow LOL - I'll have to check that out as it sounds "Fasciating" Now I deliberately stayed away from the final definition "final" being the key word so nobody would "quiver" at the theme, but by all means get the Urn no matter the process. You can always put the ashes back in after theme week. Traci, you say my mind works in mysterious ways LOL! |
| terriculture london (UK) April 10, 2008 | Still looking for an urn!!!! |
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 11, 2008 | Here is mine, flowers from the grocery store
|
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 11, 2008 | And #2
|
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 11, 2008 | One more of the pewter Urn???
|
| weed_woman Coffs Harbour (AU) April 11, 2008 | Geez, I had trouble finding one urn, and you've got three! Beautifully arranged Candee and I love store bought flowers! Our supermarket had Liles on special again, and I nearly bought them, but knew I had flowers destined for pruning at home. Is it beginning to warm up in your part of the world, and what type of garden do you have? This is more of a CH-urn really but the best I can do. Flowers are Hypoestes (Ribbon Bush), Mexican Salvias, and Spannish Tarragon. It was pouring rain, so everything was a bit soggy! This message was edited Apr 12, 2008 12:57 PM

| weed_woman Coffs Harbour (AU) April 11, 2008 | I like the way the flowers move and drip down to the urn in front. Are they Alstroemeria in the front? |
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 11, 2008 | I like your urn Sue and those blues look really great in it. Are the blue ones the mexican salvias? Finally had a warm day today in the 80's in the sunshine and a quite warm evening we are having now. I have a lot of urns that were collected and left to me by my mom, I cherish each and every one. |
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 11, 2008 | I have no idea what they are, to me they are "grocery store poseys" LOL, if they didn't come from my garden I have no idea what I've got. Lots of times I don't know what I have in my gardens as well. |
| weed_woman Coffs Harbour (AU) April 11, 2008 | The purple ones hanging down are Salvias and the purple ones standing up are the ribbon bush. The ch-urn usually sits by the fire with a poker in it! |
| haighr Hagerstown, MD Zone 6a April 11, 2008 | Oh that is a good idea to keep the ashes from the poker in check. |
| terriculture london (UK) April 12, 2008 | Oh Lovely.. from both of you! Thankyou for these treats today. Candee, I like the way you have grouped the three pewter containers on the tray. Very nice line with the flowers linking together, they are Alsrtomerias, and I think the little white ones at the top are linum? Your 'urn' is a wonderful accessory for the whole display. Very nicely done. Sue, Love the blue and yellow combo! Ch urn, I like it! Funny, I didn't imagine you would have a fire in Australia! Unusual flowers, love the ribbon bush which gives it height and balances well with the salvia. nice one mate! G'day. I can't find anything 'urn' or 'ch urn' like here! |
| pupilpropogtr Birmingham, AL Zone 7b April 12, 2008 | Beautiful both of you. Love the grouping and the containers, Candee. Also the height is great. I also love the wet bar in the back ground and the placemats. :^) Sue, great ch urn. Isn't it nice to be able to pick your flowers from the garden. We had tornado warnings again yesterday, so the wind did a number on my bushes. I bought some flowers from the supermarket, but cannot for the life of me figure out what to do with them. LOL. I have an urn, but these flowers won't work. Plus, it is HUGE!! |
| terriculture london (UK) April 12, 2008 | Hi Traci, HUGE eh? I love HUGE. !!!!! ....so the wind did a number on my bushes...... you are funny! (sorry to hear that). Did you say you got your flowers from Belles?!!!!!! I love Belles accent, she's a sweet lady. |
