That might be cool, although I think they are a bit creepy!

I could push it into a piece of Oasis.

Eg. Big square of designer board (dry) covered flat with Ivy leaves then Carmen lily and a trail of ivy? What d'ya think? Something like that mounted in the upper half of the frame?

This coming from the lady who likes bottle gardens! Only jokin' Mardy old buddy, old pal!

Senecio is nice, but I don't know how it will hold up in a hot marquee. Maybe if I'd had time to dry/preserve it.

I think they would be fine jake, I dont think they shrivel and curl too much when drying out. You could try one, pick it now and leave it in the heat for a couple of days
