1. Wild Bunch Aim high with sprawling arrangements of artificial flowers that reach to the sky. "I was actually inspired by your fir wood bowl. The simplicity of its shape, the organic and unfinished feel of the wood suggested some kind of green wildness growing out of a fallen tree trunk, like one would see in the forest." – Peter M. Krask.
2. A potted orchid.
2. Birch Beauty Make a statement with an eye-catching mint & burgundy lady slipper orchid plant placed in our cement birch vase. This unique vase uses cement to channel the rustic beauty of birch trees.
