Glass flowers

That's right glass flowers, not grass flowers. Over at Erba Volant is a great post about the glass flower collection at Harvard University. If you've never heard of them, or never seen them, and don't know their story, the blog is well worth your time. They are quite remarkable, and even more life like when you actually see them. Not only did the creators have to be great craftsmen, but they had to really know their botany.
