Request: Help with flowers

Request: Help with flowers

hi, i want to put a little aura of my office windowsill on the right
hand side of my .sig  --- that is, i'd like some flowers,
houseplants, window box or something!!

i have been having a go at it, my first attempt was a window box with
some flowers trailing over the sides....

but i had trouble making it look recognisable.                 

at scarecrows ftp site i found the complete steven sullivan small ascii
pic collection, but the only small flowers i could find were like this...
 _  ___        _        _

                   |__/                              
which are a bit garden like, and i'd like something more rambling. 

this was an experiment with some pots and different sorts of flowers
                                                 *  _    U 
 _  ___        _        _                         \/*\    \  8 `o' *
| |/ (_)_ _ __| |_ _  _| |   Kirsty Darbyshire    |/  \    \/    \/   U

|_|\_\_|_| /__/\__|\_, (_)  kir...@ma.man.ac.uk  \_/      \_/   \_/  \_/
                   |__/             

does anyone have any ideas on how to make any of these look more
realistic?  all imagination gratefully received!

i found this hanging basket, that i quite liked, too (at least i hope 
that's what it was meant to be)
      ^                                              
     ' `
