Green with...Admiration...

I certainly admire Flora Grubb-- she has the perfect name for her career and her job involves growing awesome plants and create really cool plant constructions! As I don't have a very green thumb, ("chartreuse" is pushing it), I love that she works with succulents because they are the one plant variety that the average chartreuse-thumbed gal can keep alive and her creations are so. ridiculously. cute.

Her upside down plants remind me of a Dr. Seuss illustration:


A living holiday wreath!


A little fresh greenery brightens the snowy holidays:


My favorite Flora Grubb creation: a vertical garden! Imagine watering your walls... ;)


Check out her company's website for more green-tastic creations! She also blogs on her website and provides instructions for creating her living masterpieces. After browsing on her site, I think there might be more things to add to my Christmas list....!

    Thanks for this post. I'm checking out Flora Grubb and going by Michaels later today. I'm determined to make my own ornament. If it's a disaster then nevermind this comment!

    XOXO,
    Jovian
