Calling All Flower Experts

Can you identify the following plants and flowers? Stumbled upon these gorgeous arrangements while visiting Boston Chinatown. These mystery to me plants and flowers are found in the courtyard at the main entrance, near the bamboo garden.

Good Erdle, Good Design

I really like these planters by Good Erdle, as featured in a recent Design Sponge post:

Who knows how many ways you can arrange these? More motivation to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty this Spring! Don’t forget to check out the about page…Andrew Erdle’s is quite funny.

Aqua Bonsai

My husband recently opened his new etsy shop, AquaBonsai.
He creates bonsai inspired “trees” for aquariums. Java moss is hand tied to a non toxic substrate base, which is bendable so you can pose your tree or bonsai creature any which way you please. Your fish or pet shrimp can help you prune as they forage away on their new aquatic garden decor.
Needless to say, he’s got the green thumb in our family.
