It's intended purpose appears to be as a potpourri diffuser, but we've just been enjoying it as a decorative item, complete with those jaunty bumps and carved out holes like the desert birds do to real saguaros.

Since I wanted to trim the flowers on the Ligularia (I don't care for them) I figured they'd make a suitable test.
