shades of grey

another holiday break find. this great plant (i can't recall its name) is a show stopper, but the real object of my desire was its primitive assembly. it is an old piece of fence that has been sun drenched for years on SoCal, with the plant attached with wire and fishing string and then the hook it is hanging from is the same simple wire that has seen the equal amount of weather as the board.

best $20.00 spent this season....well, a close best anyway. with all its roughness, it brings a great freshness to the living room and something almost on the verge of welcoming spring.

Staghorn fern, I think. Leftover info from my early days working in a plant store in the 70's. Oh so many years ago.
