Poor Flowers

If I didn't kill potted plants, I would have them all over my house. All the time. Every single day. It might have something to do with the fact that I'm irresponsible, forgetful, and a little bit absent-minded. I never notice they're dying until they are d-e-a-d. But I still indulge occasionally ... like the day before a big event when I want to impress people. Take a look at these great flowers from this spring:

I have a fabulous Hobby Lobby vase/container, and I just plopped that ugly green container right in it. Perfect! For the top picture, I put the ugly container in the hurricane and surrounded it with those translucent pebbles. It looked just like the flowers were planted in the pebbles - without all the dirty mess. Since I'm lazy and didn't want to have to clean that huge thing filled with soil, I was pretty proud. Lazy, cute arrangements. They were dead in two weeks. But it was fun while it lasted!
