I found your blog while searching for a picture of a traditional mideival bridal wreath. <br />I wanted to offer to send you a few pictures that I took of an actual straw bridal wreath while visiting a mideival torture museum in Rothenburg, Germany. I have a picture of a straw wreath, along with several pics of the description/story of the bridal wreath, and variations thereof. It was pretty interesting, and I'd love for you to be able to post the pics on your blog. Let me know if you'd like me to email the pics to you, and you can decide if you'd like to use them or not. Either way, thought you might find it interesting.

I hadn't seen one in years until my Mississippi trip, and they were in full bloom there. <br /><br />When I came back and talked about them, someone said, "No, that's spirea". I'd never heard that name used. And now, I know a good bit more about a plant I truly loved. <br /><br />Not only that, with my olefactory memory refreshed, I can smell your bushes from here!shoreacreshttp://shoreacres.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-43174051807672482732009-05-30T07:03:14.622-04:002009-05-30T07:03:14.622-04:00Bob - haha!
