|
|
Hello all,
bit of a strange question but I'm looking for suggestions for plants to use in a short film. Ideally, the plants will be potted and of different sizes to represent the gap between three children. I was thinking of using a lupin or a sunflower but if anyone has suggestions for an upstanding (good looking) plant, I'd be grateful.
Cheers |

fantastic suggestions, thanks.
On second thoughts though, I think we need some kind of shrub which would indicate age-intervals. I.E the first was planted for the first child and the next for a child years later. That's not going to work is it becuase a garden centre would only have plants the same age? Hmmm, back to the drawing board.
Thanks again |

If you're looking for symbols of growth and age difference, you would have to go for shrubs...or even better, trees. If you went to a nursery and asked for three oaks of the appropriate ages that would be very symbolic.....especially if you could then plant them somewhere special after you had made the film. |

Great ideas again.
I never thought of using trees - and Oaks would be perfect.
When the rain finally clears up, I'll take myself off to the nursery.
Thanks |
