Along with the two kinds of green leucadendron, Mayesh had some gorgeous Echeveria coccinea last week. I snagged a few stems and paired them with Echeveria 'frosty' and Echeveria 'Violet Queen.' My favorite parts though, are the cute Mammillaria gracilis fragilis, or thimble cactus - do you see them? They're tiny little cactus balls with reflexed spines. I will definitely be sneaking these into more bouquets!

Kelli and Andrew's Wedding in Flushing, Michigan

I have one last Michigan wedding to share. Kelli and Andrew's wedding was incredibly special to me. Andrew is good friends with my husband, and Kelli was my workout partner. She has to be the kindest and most genuine person I know. She and Andrew make a gorgeous couple too! The photos are by one of my favorite photographers - Emily Meyer-Jenkins from Signature Portrait Studio. Are you ready for all of this gorgeousness?

Succulents, Garden Roses and Bougainvillea

hand-tied bouquet with pink bougainvillea, Juliette Drouet garden roses, Echeveria 'frosty,' seeded eucalyptus, green leucadendron and agonis Mayesh had some fabulous product in this week. Seriously, two kinds of green leucadendron? And the Juliette Drouet garden roses? I'm in heaven. But I couldn't help myself, I still had to add some bougainvillea and Echeveria 'frosty' from my personal collection.

Speaking of my collection - it might get a little bigger this weekend. Is anyone else going to Bi-Annual Plant Sale at the Desert Botanical Garden? I'm totally pumped!
