We went today to the SFO Flower and Garden Show and as always finding amazing display from the company Succulent Gardens. This year they made this huge globe. I like the way they have grouped the succulents to define the various continents.

And this one is a display called Great Walls of China made by UC Berkeley. The succulents are still in their respective pots but are inside a cardboard sleeve lying down.



It is nice to see with the lighting effects:

Amazing stuff!! Thank you so much for the pics!!

These look great!

Wow! That globe is quite an undertaking! Very unusual concept with the cardboard tubes.

Exactly what I was going to say but then I thought better of it.
How do they take out the time and patience?

All I can think is - wow that is a lot of toilet paper tubes

Yes, in there a person has a lot of time and patience, thanks Hetty for a logical explanation .

That is really cool Tarev. I used to love going to the SF show, such incredible displays. Did the globe turn as well? It looks like it does.

Patience and vision, in abundance.

Yup, the globe was turning on its axis. It was such a beauty to see..

This is their write-up on how they formed this huge succulent globe.
