making mud gorgeous. why shouldn't you feather your own nest?

tree for friday


yes, that is broccoli.  or trees as they are known to my boys.
the first i have ever grown actually.  it was flourishing beautifully in my garden, small but still uneaten by bugs, so i thought i would give it some more time to grow.  a few days later, gorgeous yellow flowers had appeared!  i had missed its peak to pick to eat, so i decided to pick it, pop it in a bottle with a few shells & a little mud tag & ta-da... a pretty little flower-tree & one i thought quiet fitting in light of our aussie tour de france celebrations!
i understand completly it sounds a little silly to be raving about broccoli, but i am just a little desperate to find some colour in my garden at the moment. see, you can always find ways to feather your nest & make something out of nothing & i am very happy to have found some colour inspiration, even if it is from a green vegetable.x
