chestnut branches

chestnut branches 2

Have you ever seen such beautiful branches in your life? This gorgeous bushel contains the branches of a chestnut tree. Apparently the spiny, green burrs (or cupules) can contain up to seven nuts depending on its variety. When the nuts inside have ripened the burr turns yellow-brown and splits to reveal the chestnuts.

I found this creative arrangement at Sammy's Flowers. It's a pretty idea for the end of a restaurant bar, a central table in a foyer or on a table at a big rustic farm table wedding. I will definitely keep it in mind.

PS: Isn't that a cool, rustic mirror in the background?
