Plant Badges Growing in Your Garden

[creagdhubh]

Greetings all,

The following photos are examples of how I wear my clan's plant badge. I typically alter the actual size of the sprays of heather; from large, multiple sprigs bundled together for a more dramatic look (first few photos taken locally), to maybe two or three sprigs for a lighter look (final photo taken in Scotland).

Like I mentioned in a previous post in this thread, I would order all of my Scottish white heather direct from a wee company located in Argyll (now I grow a different species of white heather that has noticeably larger flowering buds than its Highland counterpart-I prefer the more delicate look of the Scottish variety), however, they have seemed to go out of business, or perhaps they just ended their online sales, because their wonderful website does not exist anymore. I would order several sprays of white heather at a time, usually fresh white heather during the blooming season (May-early October). However, one could order dried white heather at any time during the year. They also sold fresh and dried purple heather as well. I really wish they were still around. Enjoy the photos.
