@marthastewart : One of @marthastewart48’s favorite plants to use in her home? Smoke Bush! 🌸✨ And she actually first discovered them by accident. ”I really knew nothing about this unusual plant until I purchased Skylands, my home on Mount Desert Island in Maine, in 1997. I asked Kevin Sharkey (Executive Director of Design/@seenbysharkey) to cut flowers from the garden for his huge arrangements, and Kevin Burger to pick up some additional stems of oriental lilies at a local farm. Kevin B spotted a tree covered with fluffy pink panicles that looked like fairy-tale cloud puffs... From that moment on, I have been enamored of Cotinus, or smoke bush, a relative of sumac. The gigantic arrangement was placed in the center of the Great Hall table, and because it was so light and airy, it looked as if a pink cloud had descended into the middle of the room. It was much admired and oohed and aahed over.” - Martha. 🌸 Learn more about the story behind these stunning plants at the link in bio! 👆🏼📷: @johndolanphotog
