Week 7 Trend - Succulents

These wonderful little plants started becoming popular a year or two ago and they haven't gone anywhere. I saw them start to really pop when I was in Europe in 2013 and I have continued to see them since. I have been looking for one to put on my desk but hadn't found the right one . . . until yesterday. We went to the Home and Garden show here in Grand Rapids and I found this little guy.

 

Not only are succulents becoming popular house plants, but they are popping up more in the wedding industry - being used for centerpieces, bouquets and table gifts for guests. With the variety of colors and shapes, they add more dimension to your average floral arrangement.
