Funny, first thing I saw was "neighborhood dazzler" and then "lightbulb sand flower ball" only i misinterpreted the emphasis in the second phrase and got a mental image of tossing lightbulbs full of colored sand into the middle of the street to make big "sand flower" shapes. ooh, i like that idea now. i totally dig this though

You add salt to the coloured sand? Won't that be bad for most cut flowers?
