Green things

This was my favorite thing on the windowsill today: an aucuba cutting in a mug Betty Gatewood had made (think Vista Print) and gave me. The mug has Betty's botanical illustration of an Osage orange on it.  It's gorgeous!

And it seems I was obsessed with green today, because the windowsill filled up with green things:  three vases of green hellebore flowers, a vase of scented geranium foliage, a bottle holding a metal object with a green patina (have no idea what it is; Mary Garner-Mitchell found in the Flower Camp trash heap!), two boxes of green tea, and my beloved Osage orange mug.
