Today we simply want to point out the difficulty this 2016 wreath presented to the decorator. First, there is the fabric brocade bow, which unlike other materials can be notoriously difficult to staple in place and fluff properly. Then there are the small pomegranates, with no natural handles to attach firmly to the greens. Berries begin to shed upon touch, and the paper lantern flowers (Physalis alkekengi) fall off their fragile stems if you look at them crosswise. It is a magnificent wreath, however, and if memory serves, was one of a pair.
