This was for a contest for the county fair to make an arrangement of native plants and more points would be given if the plants were indentified. i collected container materials and i identified plants and where they grow, so that i could enter it the next year and then i moved anyway and i didnt feel like moving barbed wire with me. Read more i did one arrangement very similar to this which placed 1st place. it was cultivated roses from my garden combined with wilflowers also from my garden that i put into an old shined up antique silver pitcher. if i find the picture i will post it.

Ingredients
- 1 large dented and rusty tin or pail shopping list
- 3-4 feet of rusty barbed wire shopping list
- small dented 'no hunting' or 'keep out' sign shopping list
- 1 large glass vase to line the tin or pail that will be conceiled inside to hold water shopping list
- assorted wildflowers including phlox, sunflowers, clovers, grasses or rushes, cattails, queen annes lace, goldenrod, other. (avoid cow parsnip as it looks like queen annes lace, but causes burns on contact. i had one in my yard and i researched it a little before i got rid of it) shopping list
How to make it
- Place the glass vase liner into the rusty tin pail.
- wearing gloves wind the barb wire scraps around the glass and outward into odd twists coming out of the pail.
- fill the glass part 2/3 full with water.
- poke the stems of the cut flowers down through and around the pieces of barb wire in a natural looking way at various heights making sure the stem bottoms go into the water.
- attach the old tin 'no hunting' sign or other appropriate junk material.
