It’s beautiful! I went with a custom flower and am so pleased with the one you chose! Only heads up to other buyers, the “not hanging” version also comes glued to wood so if you want to frame it, you may need to carefully remove it from the wood. But that’s on me, I misunderstood. Can’t wait to give this to my mom!
