    I definitly like that. The warm color and style blend with the plants very well.

    Sweet!

    The LOML is big into plants, so I'm always scheming new ways for her to display her living treasures - This will be one of the many threads I call out to her about - "Hey, Honey - Check this out!"

    Question - Does the base (where the plant sits) rotate? Does the whole apparatus rotate off of the arm?

    Definitely a cool piece of work - Thanks for sharing!
    Best regards,

    Evan
