ghost flowers


 the hydrangeas are slowly disintegrating


leaving behind a lovely lacework of their former glory


I had to snip a few and bring them in


ghost flowers - not your everyday halloween decoration

  1. Hydrangeas really are one of those flowers that are spectacular dead and alive.

  4. Lovely ghosts !
    Have you ever tried a Microfleur Flower Press (http://www.microfleur.com/) ? You place the flowers in the press and use the microwave for 30 seconds to dry flowers and press them beautifully. Hydrangea are so beautiful dried and the ghostly ones would be gorgeous !
    Happy spooking !
