Longwood Garden wonders



These amazing plants are called "water platters." They're featured in the waterlily ponds at Longwood Gardens. The colors and textures are gorgeous. They can grow up to 7 feet in diameter at a rate of 6 inches a day. Jeff and I had the good fortune of seeing the water gardeners at work on Monday. The third photo shows an underside.
I have a feeling that these are going to influence some woven scarf designs this fall!
