This natural twig wreath, interspersed with clusters of wild rose and apple blossoms, evokes a walk along a wild hedgerow on a sunny spring day. The winged branches of the burning bush form a base for the stems of everlasting flowers, leaves and fruit clusters that suggest the
wild tangle of new spring growth amidst the previous yearÕs
twigs and fruit. All that is missing is the scent of appleblossoms on
the breeze!
