Ken gave me this flower last week. For NO reason! Well, I had been gone for a few days, but it wasn't Valentine's Day or our anniversary! He is awesome.
These are Water Beads, Aqua Gems, or Magic Water Marbles or any combination of those. I got these in Rexburg while I was visiting my little sister. I don't have a before picture, but this water used to be murky and gross (because I didn't rinse it frequently). They come as tiny little hard plastic-looking spheres and you just add water and they expand and become larger squishier spheres that water your plants. Just rinse weekly.
P.S. Ignore the hard water stains. This won't be a problem anymore!I got this wall hanging from my Aunt Laurie for Jared. It is, without question, the CUTEST part of his room. Bugs in jars! Genius!
Here is some of the awesome detailing that makes me love it even more!

That is a beautiful wall hanging!
Beautiful flower!! Good job, Ken! :) Pink roses are my favorite. Cool aqua beads, too! I'd never heard of those. Are you supoosed to use it like soil, or just for water plants?
That bug wall hanging is a super cute idea. I think I might figure out a way to use that bug fabric idea, maybe for a page of my quiet book! :) I didn't know Laurie was so crafty!
Now you just need to rinse them weekly. They look lovely and I am glad to see that your bamboo is still alive. I miss you tons and tons. We need to talk. I keep meaning to call you and then I'm afraid to interrupt... love you!!!
What cool water bead thingys, and what an adorable blanket! Fun idea.
