Or the lack thereof in my case. I skipped that one. My sisters both got all those genes from the available gene pool. I need to be very careful which pot/vase I use for my flowers, because the job is up the the vase, not me. I so love flowers, always have them in the house. So along came the mother of a high tea which I had for my birthday a few months back and my sister came up( thankfully….) with these ideas.
King Protea in a tea pot
She saw the protea in a tea pot idea in a magazine weeks before the day and I went flower hunting to get just the right size protea as they can be HUGE.

We shall be in faraway lands this Christmas. At last I will see my daughter’s face in real time and not skype! Christmas and New Year in South Korea will be an experience. About 35 degrees C colder than Cape Town at the moment which makes packing a funny business. Layering UP during the 23 hours travel time until the cold hits on arrival, but come hail or snow, I am excited!
My random photo taken last week in Granger Bay:
The mist came rolling in from the ocean, fog horn blaring.

The flowers and arrangements were beautiful – I am afraid I missed that gene as well, the best I can do is shove them in a vase and let the flowers speak for themselves 🙂 Hope you have a great Christmas!

I too do not have the flower arranging gene. Sigh! But you, on the other hand, seem to have a knack for it. You did a great job! And how exciting to spend the holidays with your daughter! I am very happy for you. Have a great time and best wished to you and your loved ones!
