    Default Kokedama or String Garden

    I had a friend send me a link on string gardens and asked if I knew how to make them? The first few photos I looked at where of orchids....but then these popped up. Simply amazing!

    I edited the post to include the name of this art form - kokedama

    If you google, you can find lots of examples, including a how-to video. They claim they need to sprayed "often," but I have to wonder just how often you'd need to do it. But since I do like to experiment and I'm running out of room, I gotta try it.
