Yes, I was hanging out with the succulent guy from Tropiflora nursery and he said they just returned from a big expo in Orlando for succulent nurseries...he said it's usually really exciting because they see all kinds of new, neat things.....but this time, it was Spraypainted Succulents! The biggest disappointment he'd ever seen, he said.
The other horrendous thing I've seen at Home Depot/Lowe's....Mammillaria cacti with fake flowers superglued to the tops of them. They can peel away bits of the cactus skin when you try to remove them. So stupid! What's wrong with the natural beauty of these plants' flowers!?
