As a part of my of "Christmas at Winterthur" series I am bringing a drop dead gorgeous tree for you to enjoy!
Placed in a room all of it's own with low light, this lush evergreen stands center stage, full of the best of the 2009 garden season. When I first saw this tree I audibly gasped! The pictures do not do it justice. I have never seen anything like it!
Beautiful, beautiful flowers covers almost every inch! I never knew flowers could be preserved to keep so much of their summer freshness. They were crowded into a huge bouquet-of-a-tree!
I love happy sunny zinnias, and the tree was full of them! What a delight!
The base of the tree was hidden by a gentle ruffled, golden grid material. Soft and not overpowering.
The tree was topped with pink and white snapdragons. A fabulous crowning touch!
This Christmas tree was so unusual and stunning!
There is still more! Check back for a couple more trees and a gorgeous staircase! I will also be posting my tree too!
I gasped when I opened your page...I can't imagine it in person. Are they dried flowers? I don't think I have ever seen dried snapdragons. This is really stunning...wow. I am so glad you went so that we could see the pictures!
