While I love flowers, I also love succulents (which will only grow indoors here in West Virginia, I imagine).
This is gorgeous.

We really enjoyed this project. It allowed for some workshop time, and some quality family time with my daughter and fiance.

While we do love flowers as well (afterall, I am in the horticulture field by profession) the longevity of flowers versus succulents is just no comparison.

That, and flowers were over a thousand dollars, we were able to tackle this project for $125 for the materials...
