Dried Flowers And Leaves


Along the front side of the Conservatory at Belle Isle, there is a huge bush of these flowers that at first glance I thought was hydrangea.  They are not, however, since the leaves have different shape.


These photos were taken at the end of November, and this bush was prepared for hibernation.  I love the colors on the leaves, and the dried flowers too.


Hope you all have a great weekend...

Enjoy other entries at Pink Saturday, Today's Flowers, and Mosaic Monday!
