Desert plants

[nachoman]

I also found this pine branch in the plastic flower aisle, and thought it would be good for the basal part of the century plant. It's a little on the large size, and takes a little more work to trim down and paint.
   

I like the results, but I think the finished plant is a little too big. Plants are one of those layout items that often look best if you make them a little smaller than scale. It makes your layout appear larger, and creates a depth illusion.
