Succulents

Echeveria, sedum, aeonium.  Succulents have complicated-sounding names but there’s nothing complicated about their simplistic, understated beauty.  Often green or purple in color, succulents are known for their thick, fleshy leaves.  You can flaunt them all on their own or pair them with complimentary flowers for added flair and pops of additional color.  Succulents can also be accented with billowy bunches of baby’s breath or bundles of lavender.
