I am not sure exactly how many blossoms will be needed... but I am pretty sure that the 50 or 60 I have planned will not look like a lot... the shrub is a large old one and in RL it would probably have hundreds.... But I will just keep going and see where it ends up...! :)Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-90415350771749412682018-10-17T19:33:55.535-04:002018-10-17T19:33:55.535-04:00Thank you Janine!

The fact that you will know it's there is the point!<br />Amazing, those little lilac branches - perhaps your most inspiring work yet.

HUH??????? What happened to "but I will know it's there"?????? If you should announce in your next post that you plan to never use hinges again I will be in need of therapy… *LOL* Well, this strange sentence may have been totally unexpected to me, but the intense work and love you've put into your lilac leaves was no surprise at all. It will be a lot of work but the last pictures already allow a good vision of how stunning it will look in the end. Oh, and I really like your Hightech equipment… ;O)<br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-14516906108496738202018-10-03T14:07:56.489-04:002018-10-03T14:07:56.489-04:00Great job on the leaves - great photos too!

I am wondering if you just put some leafy branches lower down at the back without blossoms, how noticable it would be that you didn’t have any blossoms down there? I am thinking it could save a little effort if it wasn’t noticible. And it’s not that likely that you’d get blossoms there in real life where there was less light. You are a real trooper Betsy!
