That’s amazing. Wouldn’t have thought to use cranberries this way.

Gorgeous! Your stunning photo is brightening up my day. Rain, rain, and more rain. It is so dark here at 8am the streetlights are still on! Like that statue too!

I’ve never seen cranberries used like that, and it was a beautiful display. Yes, the statues at Brookgreen can hold their own in the beauty department. 🙂 Sunny, warm, but foggy here.

Very cool display. The cranberries offer a lovely contrast to the white poinsettias. I imagine that a shallow bowl filled with berries on a dining table surrounding a plant or arrangement would be also pleasing to the eye.

I think you’re right. The red and the white make a nice contrast.

Gorgeous! The environmentalists in me hopes they were able to repurpose the cranberries afterwards… like maybe compost them or use them as feed.

I know they compost because I’ve seen the large bins. They also have a small zoo area with a lot of birds maybe they use them there.

I’ve seen cranberry bogs in Wisconsin but never with flowers floating in them. 🙂 It’s quite stunning and creative.

I’m thinking next year, I’m going to try it in on a very small scale in a clear glass bowl or vase. It really was stunning.

I’ve never seen a poinsettia actually growing. I’ve only seen them in a pot.
