Time got away from me this week. I swear I just posted my blog yesterday. Of course, since posting Wednesday's blog, we have moved to Sutherlin, visited Roseburg, caught up with old friends, and explored the surrounding area. Oh, and a little quilt shopping....gee, I wonder where the time went....

Before we left Florence, we stopped by Darlingtonia State Park to see the carnivorous plant. It is called Darlingtonia or a Cobra Lily. You can see where it gets its second name. It even looks like it has a split snake's tongue sticking out.
The park is small so it was a short walk to the sandy bog-like area. The air had a heavy sweet smell - better to attract flies with, right? I wish the flowers were blooming. They are quite pretty.
On The Cutting Board
Ta-Da! I finished A Cat's Welcome wall hanging. I'm finding that I like adding the tabs instead of a sleeve for hanging.
I added two buttons to each tab..

I have never seen that plant before. Very interesting. The hangings are just super. I like the oak leaf to go with the acorn and that cat is indeed welcoming.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that an interesting bloom? Dusty looks like he/she would know what to do with a cobra!
ReplyDeleteThe plant looks vicious. I will read about it - it is interesting. In Russia they have a plant called 'swamp fly catcher', and probably some other carnivorous plants, but we have none in Uzbekistan. However we have real cobras.
ReplyDeleteYour wall hanging is very beautiful. I like the colors and the elegant cat's silhouette very much. The oak leaf is lovely, too.
Thanks Mulberry Whisper!
DeleteI will take the plants over a live cobra!...very scary...
Love the finishing touches on the sign....the twig hanger and the leaf give it that extra bit of charm. Love it!
