Truffula Tree in the Making
As my son and I were walking to school today, I spotted something so cool, a miniature Truffula tree in the making! There was a Clematis vine on a mailbox with tons of seed heads. The seed heads are almost an exact replica of a Truffula tree, only miniature. For any of you who have kids who love the book, The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss, you should definitely try to find a seed head from a Clematis vine in your neighborhood. Even the stem is shaped like the trunk of the Truffula trees in the illustrations by that beloved book. I have a plan to try to spray paint the seed head with a floral spray paint to see if I can come up with something cute! Pics on the way. http://api.skimlinks.com/skimrss/xml?id=56178X1329476&domain=go.redirectingat.com&rss=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2FGardeningWithMarieStephens
