Botanically Speaking...

I went for a walk in the back yard this morning.

I have been being really nice to this thing that came up all by itself in the back yard. 

I have no idea what it's called.  Basically it is a desert ground cover. It doesn't cover the ground very well. I use the term loosely.

I am hoping that the flowers on it will dry.  Another experiment.  If it works, they would make great geranium flowers in mini.

These, I pick every year, with the intention of painting them and using them for some sort of tulip flower.

Since I am doing the conservatory, maybe I will actually do some of the experiments this year.

I looked closely at the Rosemary flowers this morning... I they would dry, they look a LOT like mini orchids.

Since it is Wednesday, I will only have the morning for minis.  I am going to put a few of each flower in the magic crystals that dry flowers... We shall see what happens.

I found the tiny cactus coming up in the yard.  I have no idea what kind it is, but it is going to be taken care of, just to see what happens. It is smaller than my little finger by quite a ways.

The other one is a shoot off of a larger plant that I got at Walmart.  I doubt that it will stay mini, but I am going to put it in a tiny pot and not water it too much. 

That seems to work on a lot of the mini plants. 

Anyway, I have to get back at it and start the mad scientist portion of the day. 

See you tomorrow.
