Just for your interest, I donīt think you can see clearly in the picture but the tea bags were dyed with different colours of tea, I wish I could remember the name of the leaf she used, its a white almost opal affect petal from a flower that dries that way. it will come back to me LOL probably in the middle of the night
Is it the silver seed pod from 'Honesty' Lunaria, is it's Latin name Elle!
Yes you clever thing you. Its honesty that was shown on the tea bag wall hanging.
Thanks Izy Elle
Fond memories of my Granny and this flower Elle, we used to gather them in the hedgerows and peel the outer cases off to reveal the silver disc

:-D
