Another use for succulents

Post by cactushobbyman »

My daughter wanted this for her center piece at her wedding. Her idea. :D

Seems to be the latest thing.
A handful of my plants were in wedding reception centerpieces last weekend too.
Not nearly as elaborate though.

It was a delight to see 6 over 90 ladies grinning about their new plants!
