    @pearlsnblume, I had a LARGE bowl and just filled it with some Dove dishwashing liquid.....gave it some good, but gentle, swirls around in it, then rinsed it a few times.....then got out a hair dryer as I didn't want the wires to rust....so blew it a bit 'til it felt dry! AND THANK YOU, @Ownedbybear for the ID, as I said, I'm VERY "florally challenged"!!! @Bookahtoo, I will try to "arrange" them better.....they're pretty much as Mom had them....just shoved in that 'pig'!!!!!!!!!!:jawdrop::joyful::joyful::joyful: And loving the colors in the blue & green 'violets'!!!

    When I did a lot of beadwork I collected beaded purses, Iroquois beaded pieces and beaded flowers. They're all packed away right now. I now resist the urge to collect more, but I love it.

    DizzyDaff Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

    Actually, when I saw the red, I instantly thought red spider lily (Lycoris) Lycoris_Red_Radiata.SHUT_1024x.jpg

    This just makes me a little sad. Last time I had looked it up, this little Ardco Basket of glass seed bead flowers was worth about $100. m_5f4e76d8800f6477922d94b6.jpg
