I mean, you are the apple of my eye. You are the sunshine of my life. And all those other sayings.

Sunday Bouquet: Succulent Garden (and a Succulent Tree)

Succulent Garden By Winston Flowers Boston

Marni Elyse Katz/StyleCarrot

This gorgeous succulent garden is from local Boston florist Winston Flowers. There are a whole bunch of different varieties planted in the ceramic container (you just can’t see the ones on the other side). As for that funny plant that looks like a tree, it’s a succulent gone wild. It was just a normal plant from Trader Joe’s. Year later, I have no idea what’s happening with it. Kind of Dr. Seuss-y.
