I had this belated brainwave the other day, staring at a piece of clipart. Like a lot of us, one of my first flower canes was Elissa Powell’s translucent mum cane. And a little later, a friend of mine challenged the caners on a forum to make peony canes. I made one. It stunk. Cat made one and wrote a tutorial for it.

So now I’ve made a mum cane that could easily be a peony or marigold or carnation or dahlia. I’m looking forward to some obsessing!
