Martha's lighted pine cones

[ Edited ]

Martha mistakenly said her Luminaria pine cones were based on "redwood" cones.  They are lovely, but would be quite tiny if based on redwood cones.

 

As an amateur naturalist, I thought I should point out that large cones are from pines such as the Coulter pine.  (Redwoods are not pines, of course.)
