High-maintenance, rootless, and sort of loud.

We’re talking about that flower arrangement on your mantel. (Not everything’s about you.)

For something new, ditch the trad bouquet for a potted succulent from Grange Hall (a.k.a. Urban Flower). The resilient plants, also known as echeveria, give off a sleek, ikebana-like effect but need minimal watering and care.

Get one set atop large rocks in a rose bowl to spice up your abode or pick a smaller arrangement as a hostess gift. Your friends will surely appreciate the subtle charm and quiet allure.

Even if it’s something new coming from you.

Available at Grange Hall/Urban Flower, 4445 Travis Street (214-443-0600 or urbanflowergrangehall.com).
