All dried up but still beautiful

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Winterthur mansion, museum and the estate grounds which were enormous and filled with amazing gardens.
Many of the gardens were not in bloom at this time of year but the tour guide described them with such enthusiasm and detail I could picture them as if they were in full bloom.
Inside the mansion which had 170 rooms! There were Christmas trees in many of the rooms. One tree stood out to me as the most beautiful. It was 17 feet tall and stood in the conservatory surrounded by windows. It was covered from top to bottom with dried flowers. The flowers were all grown on the grounds of the estate and dried by staff employees. A distant photo didn't do it justice so I zoomed in close to show you the detail.
