Hand Painted Succulent with Sola Wood Flowers - Unique Gift Box Addition

Sola flowers, or wood flowers, are made from – you guessed it – wood. But don’t worry, they’re not stiff and board-like. They’re pliable and soft, and they make a wonderful substitute for traditional floral decor.

Sola wood comes from a tapioca plant root. It is a tropical species of the Euphorbiaceae (spurge) family. Poinsettias and castor oil plants also belong to this family. The tapioca plant is known by many names: cassava, manioc, arrowroot, and sometimes yuca (don't get that confused with the yucca succulent plant). Cassava (Tapioca) plants grow in tropical climates. These plants are extremely drought resistant.

This plant is not meant to be ingested unless it is processed. Once processed, the tapioca plant is used for several different types of foods in several different countries and cultures.

*Please note these sola wood flowers are handmade and there can be a slight difference in size and shape from flower to flower. Sola flowers are not fresh flowers. They are handmade wood flowers. The texture is similar to a thin version of balsa wood. Because they are handmade and made from natural materials, no two are exactly alike! Brown veining and occasional small holes from; a "knot" in the wood are on the flowers. and
