If so, I hope we get a percentage.... If you wear some, be sure to have someone take a photo and I will surely post it on this blog! Also, no worries about bugs- Tillies are basically pest-free. So wear without worry. Reminds me of a song-- "If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some Tillies in your hair...."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888328097434089820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207856767845378292.post-84723368767998775462013-10-24T00:29:53.920-07:002013-10-24T00:29:53.920-07:00Your mention of T.ixioides suggests a halloween ha...Your mention of T.ixioides suggests a halloween hairdo, perhaps Mother Nature or Queen of the Jungle.

Then there is the T. caput medusae, but I'm having a hard time thinking of how you'd attach it. Maybe T. butzii would be easier, and it's smaller with more flexible tentacles. The last would be a sweet little T. filifolia, several could be worn in a group. I'm not sure about how one would attach xerographica--it's big and relatively heavy, so it would really need to be anchored in there. If it were to fall, it has fairly brittle leaves, so it would be damaged. But if you could figure out a way to do it, it would be magnificent!<br />For a scary look, T. ixioides would work well, but the leaves are soooo sharp!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888328097434089820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207856767845378292.post-36056382320108317722013-10-20T09:19:05.427-07:002013-10-20T09:19:05.427-07:00I think it was an Haworthia even though the site s...I think it was an Haworthia even though the site said an aloe. I would like to use a curly xerographica or medusa to create an interesting ornament or hair "extension" and wear it to the symphony. My hair is grey and it would work and would be strange. I could also see attaching small tillies to hair clips or bands. Perhaps a tiara of tillie or earrings of tiny tillies?. When not in use just hang on a cork bark earring holder and return to the greenhouse or sunny window. Just have to remember to get rinse bugs off before use. I think this fits right in with your idea of tillie curtains.

No, I could not believe it, but I did go on record a while ago as saying, "Tillies are the future!"

See the "Noemiah" store and maybe you will be surprised (even though the plant they show is not a tilly, tillies would certainly work for this application).<br />I continue to enjoy your posts.<br />GailAzarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011756547431804355noreply@blogger.com
