PROJECT 8: Picture perfect

Many house plants that are grown for their spectacular foliage are as eye-catching as a work of art, and if you snip off a leaf and insert it in a frame it can become one. When hung in a window, plants with thinner leaves will allow the light to shine through, illuminating their colours; or select intricately shaped foliage and lean your frame against a wall, to create striking silhouettes.

Use specialist frames that have two pieces of glass, or simply buy two cheap frames and use the glass from both instead of the backing board in just one frame. You can flatten thicker leaves first between the pages of a heavy book protected by baking paper.

As leaves fade, replace them with fresh ones or allow them to take on sepia hues for a different look.

PLANTS FOR PICTURE FRAMES

  • Amazonian elephant’s ear (Alocasia x amazonica)
  • Bellmore sentry palm (Howea forsteriana)
  • Bird’s nest fern (Asplenium nidus)
  • Boston fern (Nephrolepis exaltata)
  • Button fern (Pellaea rotundifolia)
  • Cretan brake fern (Pteris cretica)
  • Delta maidenhair fern (Adiantum raddianum)
  • False shamrock (Oxalis triangularis)
  • Prayer plant (Maranta leuconeura var. kerchoveana)
  • String of hearts (Philodendron xanadu)
  • Swiss cheese plant (Monstera deliciosa)
Lay your chosen leaves (here, Boston fern, bird’s nest fern and delta maidenhair fern) carefully on the bottom pane of glass and then gently lower the top pane on to them. Line up the panes and slide them into the frame

Press down firmly, then seal the frame and hang it in a window so that the leaf textures are lit up as sunlight shines through them.

Có những ngày mưa gió, ngày nắng chói chang nhưng khi mở cửa ra hàng hoa dại vẫn nằm đó dưới bậc thềm. Không nhạt không úa mà vẫn còn vẻ tươi trong như ngày nào.
