Waterlily Pond Floral Design is combining air plants and succulents with local, seasonal flowers and exotic orchids this fall. "Succulents grow locally here in California," she said. "They can be replanted directly into soil after they've been cut and used in a floral arrangement, and they will very quickly root and continue to grow. Not only these plants are attractive from the environmental perspective, but they also have wonderful texture, shape, and palette."
