Alan Campbell Fabric: Ferns - Custom Cinnabar / Brown / Taupe on Cream Suncloth

Suncloth is a sturdier, synthetic fabric designed to withstand exposure to sunlight and water and for use in a more rugged setting.  However extended exposure to the elements may cause fading.

I am tired of the implication that ferns are delicate.

We were doing quite well before flowers became fashionable. Whole prehistoric landscapes were full of us, minding our business, reproducing without a single bee or romantic subplot. Then along came the peonies, all petals and publicity, and suddenly everyone wanted a centerpiece.

I have chosen cinnabar, brown, and taupe on cream. No conventional fresh green. If this strikes you as unbotanical, please take it up with the person who decided a fern must look like a fern. I have survived several major reorganizations of life on Earth and will not be taking color advice from someone with a seasonal planter.

My ground is Suncloth, made for tougher circumstances than most drawing rooms can devise. There are sensible cautions about prolonged sun and water exposure in the specifications. I respect them. Longevity is largely a matter of knowing what one can endure.

The peonies will be along shortly, demanding a vase.
