is that Of white elephant The trunk.

is formed by the continual blending OF
flowers.
Another animal is the buffalo. This IS
made of alternantheras of different col

perfect and every little detail, even the
short stubby horns are correctly present.

ranged from alternantheras with a bor-
der of st. Helenas.
The last bed near the fountain is the
one which spells "Au Revoir." This is
also arranged from gold and green alter
