You are an ARTIST! You paint with the color and texture of flower and fauna and then you create this wonderful art exhibition piece. I have to say, when one considers some 'modern art installations' I've seen in large galleries this piece Found Objects and flowers made Glory is my favorite 'art installation. ' and I 100 percent agree, leave that up as is for the look of the thing, what an inspiration. Lovely spending the morning with you Laura and Garden Answer: )

Hi Laura, thanks for sharing. I am impressed with the easy drying rack you assembled. I m encouraged to grow statices next year up here in North Idaho. I remember this flower as a staple flower in the Monterey Peninsula landscapes and have not considered growing it where I m currently living. I look forward to your wreath making video!

'Mornin' from northern Ohio. Enjoyed your project today. Reminds me of doing the same thing in an old barn 40 years ago. You brought back warm memories for me. FYI - I really like the natural wood siding in your flower shed. Hoping you don't paint over it ( It doesn't come across as orange at all. Gives a warm feel to your space.

Hi Laura, I watch your videos everyday for the last 5 years, however I rarely comment here. Just want to say whatever camera you used for this video, just keep using it, it looks SO MUCH BETTER! That other ( GoPro) makes everything look yellow/orange. It doesn't make justice to your beautiful garden. I loved this project!

I have tried growing statice for a few years now but can never get the beautiful flowers. The first year the plants grew beautifully but never flowered. This year they all sent up flower stalks but bloomed mostly brown or discolored. I could not use any of them. I do not know what I am doing wrong.

It was fun getting to see the Wild area in the back 40! That flower drying wrack turned out so nice! Looks really good! And may I say, I am a fan of the natural wood color of the walls in the shed. I can see that a white wash finish would look good, too.

Can't wait to see how the wreaths turn out! Love the drying rack you built, it turned out perfectly! I'm glad you mentioned how easy it was to grow from seed. I've been hesitant to try it, but not anymore! Those bunches are just gorgeous! ;)

I actually did something pretty similar with Basil. I cut some 6 to 8 inch stems from our Greek Columnar Basil plant, tied them together to make a bundle, and hung them from my pot rack. I joked with my parents that they were basil chandeliers lol

I think the wood background looks great. with the white ceiling and everything else in there, the wood doesn't look orange to me. of course you should make it exactly how you want but as a viewer, the wood is a nice touch for a flower shed.

In Victorian times Statice was known/ meant for memory and remembrance, and in Australia as far as I know was often used as flowers in cemeteries for that reason. I grew up knowing it as a cemetery flower, planted around graves

What s that yellowy green almost spikey looking plant behind the smaller patch of status? It was just before the 4 minute mark in this video. I saw it in another video but forgot to ask and it looks so interesting!

What a fun project! Over the winter, I was meaning to make more natural wood garden structures this year, and I have barely done any of them with the rush of the growing season. Good inspiration!

One of those old fashioned clothes drying racks that was on a pulley, so that it could be lowered and heightened would work well for that. Great job though looks very rustic and in keeping.
