Kokedama

It's probably a bit hard to see but if you follow the strings down from the top of the photo you will discover my Kokedama.  My sister and I took a class at Longwood Gardens this morning and these are the results.  The purplish orchid is very beautiful but I am most excited about the staghorn fern.  I've been wanting one since I first discovered them at Longwood.  Mine has a way to go so I hope I can keep it alive.

Staghorn Fern

The corridor where these Staghorn Ferns grow is narrow and about the only place at Longwood Gardens where if you stand for a while you'll be in someone's way.  It's a major disappointment for me because I would love to draw every plant in that hallway.  These staghorn ferns have been a favorite of mine for several years.
