This graceful, dried celery bouquet was overlooked in the refrigerator (bottom drawer?), and over time dried out. It is a unique specimen that is rarely seen in a dehydrated state.

This specimen contains both leaves and leaf stalks (petioles)—the part of celery that is most commonly eaten.  NEXT >
