I've driven by this the last few days and finally had to stop and investigate. It is an artificial orchid in a lovely vase. Is it a memorial for someone? Has it been left for someone to take if they want it? Was there a car accident near this tree? I don't have the answer, just a lot of questions.
I saw quite a lot of memorials like this during the last years; all car incidents... So sad.
That makes it very intriguing...
