And so it begins...

Today is January 17th 2011, and I, Audrey Rey, am starting to "officially" document my garden, and the wilderness around me! In return, sharing it with you! I'm sure many other "non plantsy"/ nature things will slip into this blog.
I am a Make-up Artist by day, and a raver by night...HAH! ... well maybe an ex raver these a days.
My spare time now is dedicated to taking photos and a gardening love affair with
drought tolerant species. It was a matter of time the two collided!
Enjoy

The Bouquet that keeps on Giving!

 First came love then came marriage.....
 How it all started 6-7 months ago. I planted clippings in two large barrel planters and enjoyed watching them grow over the summer into the fall!
 
Soon It was time to cut and create! A bowl of Echeverias: Perle Von Nurnberg, Sunsets, Black Knight, Lola, Jewels, Mexican Giant, Secunda....love!

 Let the wiring begin! everything was tied together with a strip of my grandmother's wedding dress!


 The number one reason why I wanted to grow and make my own bouquet besides the single reason of satisfaction was to be able to replant and watch my little baby succulents keep growing! Now I have a memento in my garden to remember our special day forever!
