After thinking about this blanket I wound up purchasing succulents, cactus and a few other types of plants. Got a pretty stand for them and gave them little friends in and out of the pots. We live in the mountains just across from the Mojave so this was blanket has been influenced by cactus as you will see.

I was gifted a gardenia for mothers day in 2024 and a poinsettia in December from church. Six months later the poinsettia is still alive and the gardenia is still growing happily getting a new pot every 3rd month or so. This is all a miracle with my brown thumb. The gardenia actually had 6 blossom’s, only lasted a day but they were there. So lets make something which will last forever…Mojave first thing in the morning is a miraculous sight, the blanket will be too.

KITS available here now.
