fragments of magnolia and forsythia arranged in a pool at the allen garden greenhouse.
one of the first signs of spring. carefully selected bare branches pruned from semi-dormant shrubs, soaked in a bath of water, moved to a temporary resivoir of water, and then arranged in a vase when they begin to open.
here the branches have been placed in containers of rocks submerged in the fish pond where they will not need the additional watering.
