The inspiration for this arrangement came from an old wire frame left over from last years hanging planter basket.  Setting in the greenhouse, it had rusted to a delightful patina.  Yes, I do find rust delightful!  Then I gathered branches from the birch tree.  Some had blown down during a windstorm.  Others, I helped along with a bit of judicious pruning.  A bag of moss and Viola!  A custom, one of a kind, unique, creative (and many more adjectives) container for my arrangement.
