    That's stunning!!

    And regarding the idea that I mentioned in my last comment - having seen it in the flesh now, I can now just picture a fascinator made in that shape, using a lovely satiny fabric.

    What a beautiful part of the world you live in!

    Thanks, Linden. I believe I do live in a beautiful place too. :) Linden, what is a fascinator? I am not familiar with that word. :)

    We have some of these planted and I'm surprised that they do so well as we got them from my husband's mother in Florida. They are some sort of weird looking flowers but, as you say, very beautiful!

    Whoops! I'd like to know about the fascinator also - what an intriguing name!

    Thanks, Jan. These grow right out of the water in our rivers. How are yours planted?

    If Linden does not answer here, I will try and contact her and ask her that question and get back to here to post her answer. :)

    Thanks, Karen. I had never seen it either until I saw it in the river that day. It blew my mind.

    Hi everyone, not sure if I'll be able to post a link here (not terribly computer savvy but improving) - this is what wikipedia has to say about fascinators:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascinator

    Looks like it's worked, hooray!

    They seem to be especially popular for weddings and the races. They're not really my thing to wear and I've not yet made one but I have all the materials and fancy having a go!

    Hmmm, sorry, it hasn't done it as a link but if you copy and paste it into your address bar and hit the Enter key it'll get you there.

    They do look fun - though I think some of them may send you a bit cross eyed!!
