August 2, 2012 -- orange peppers on sunflower pads

I was determined to disply these sunflower remnants in the windowsill today. They are just so interesting  (the flowers from which all the petals have fallen off but the green calyxes remain). I tried them in various vases but wound up placing them on the windowsill more like lily pads. Then I put an orange pepper on top of each one (secured through the bottom with a sharp stick). I can't say this is very pretty  (I'd like it better if the pepper on the right had a nice, long  stalk coming out of the top), but I have a feeling I'll use this technique again, maybe with something else on top of the sunflower pads.
