Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Day.
“I
would
rather
sit
on a pumpkin,
and have it
all to myself,
than
be crowded
on
a velvet cushion.”
Quote by Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862) an American author, poet and philosopher

Tutorials
Curl the wire at irregular intervals to create a natural wire tendril similar to that of a passion fruit plant
When you need to keep a tiny stem hydrated this is just what you need. If you can't find a suitable drinking straw... I also have an upgrade: tiny food grade pipe water tubes.
I don't always want to wire my test tubes into the design. I like to create a bit of movement by simply hooking the tubes to gently swing.
Favourite Flowers
Cymbidium, Boat Orchid
Granadilla, passionflower, passion vines
