Inspiration: Wall of Succulents

In our eyes, and to our seemingly black thumb, there is no more beautiful plant than a succulent. Not only are they small architectural wonders of the plant world; they're also highly sustainable because they need very little water to survive. We've been seeing them all over the place lately, but this stunning array took our breath away...

This mosaic of succulents was not shot from above; the arrangement is mounted on a wall. We love the incredible variation of colors and the sheer number of plants involved. Imagine something like this in a sunny dining nook, or a small, horizontal version on a coffee table?

Reminded me of the trays in a candy shop...that is, until I realized it was a wall and fell amazed. I'm so going to copy once I move back to NM :). Thank you for this one!
