I've heard of time in a bottle and even a ship in a bottle, but I have never seen anything like this:
A tiny fern is growing inside this bottle. The bottle is part of an edging to part of my garden. It's an idea I borrowed from a friend and I love it. The "fern bottle" is the last one on the right of this picture.
But back to the fern. It has grown inside this bottle spontaneously. The closest fern in the garden to this bottle is about 2 feet away. Nature continually amazes me.

I did not know about the pear brandy. So do they have pear trees with bottles on the limbs until the fruit is ready? I would love to see a photo of this. (Off to Google it.)

Love the bottles!
I found something like this once. I unearthed an old glass bottle that had become a terrarium, with a little plant growing in it. Nature is truly a marvel, and it is always a consolation to me that she seems to find so many ways to work around our disastrous effects on her. Here's hoping she continues to be so resilient.
