Once Upon a Very Long Time Ago - The Gorgon Medusa was a
monstrous, yet mortal creature that had the power to turn anyone who
looked at her into stone.
Medusa and two sisters of hers, Stheno and Evryale, were Gorgons,
with frightful eyes, brass hands and living snakes on their head
instead of hair. Medusa was the only Gorgon who was mortal, however
she was more powerful than her sisters.

A very popular Tillandsia is the caput-medusae. Its leaves curl in
all directions and look like snakes swirling about in the air. It is
an unusual and very unique. Given good light and water it will bloom
and the leaves get a reddest blush when blooming. After the bloom
comes its pups! And then there were two!
Of couse, after reading about the Gorgon
Medusae, the ideas for clay containers just started crowding my
brain! And here is the final results. You can find them on
Creation-in-Clay.
