The Desert Rose Bonsai has been on my to-do list for quite some time now. I thought Mother’s Day would be the perfect time to release such a beautiful and meaningful arrangement.

I must say, learning the story behind each and every bloom is one of the best parts of designing for me. It allows me to learn things I have never known and brings me closer to the bloom itself. This only makes the designing part much more interesting.
