The garlands were mad...Good question, Emilia Jane!<br /><br />The garlands were made of fishing line. My sister cut the blooms off of the flowers and strung them on the fishing line using a needle. At the end of each garland, she put two large marigolds back to back and finished off the end with a large bead.<br /><br />The individual garlands were then all tied on the other end to a large branch cut from a tree at our house. We got a very long, very thin branch. VERY long...probably at least 8 feet. <br /><br />The fountain area at the Marston garden has a couple of potted plants hanging from a roof structure right over the fountain. We simply slid the branch into the hooks that the pots were hanging from. This is why the branch had to be thin, so that it would fit on the hooks and not be so heavy as to put any weight on them and damage them. However, I think they have since added a third pot right in the middle, so you may have to adjust my plan slightly.<br /><br />I hope this helps (and makes sense!)Candicehttp://fightthefondant.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7598110590573370398.post-79987739000731259042010-07-26T13:36:52.609-07:002010-07-26T13:36:52.609-07:00They are little mums.

I'm not sure what the smaller yellow and green ones were though...to be honest, my sister and I went to the wholesale flower shop and just picked out a bunch of whatever looked good! I think they might be mini chrysanthemums.<br /><br />If you check out this post, you can see a close-up photo of the flowers when we were making the garlands:<br /><a href="http://fightthefondant.blogspot.com/2009/11/twas-night-before.html" rel="nofollow">Twas the Night Before</a>Candicehttp://fightthefondant.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7598110590573370398.post-86069206777676852332010-05-21T19:44:04.596-07:002010-05-21T19:44:04.596-07:00I like the flowers you used in your hanging flower...I like the flowers you used in your hanging flower display.
