Your cacti look wonderful. Great job!

Beautiful!!! I love plants too. My other addiction is fig trees.

Anny Mendoza · 08-13-2013, 05:33 PM

I can see why it's an addiction

They are beautiful.

Verbena · 08-13-2013, 06:21 PM

Very nice. Playing with plants is so much fun

beasiegirl · 08-13-2013, 07:16 PM

They look great! I have always loved a cactus garden and your gardens look so healthy and attractive.

Oooooo! A fellow Succulent addict

! I absolutely *love* succulent container gardens - I think they're so cool looking.

I always wanted to make my own hypertufa containers for succulents. Have you ever?

I forgot... I have the supplies in my shed! I suffered injuries and was laid up the last two summers, this is my first year back. I thought I lost many of my plants, then a bunch just came up in that pot! I was so excited, so I have them and bought more this summer. May try making containers soon! Just got done making babies (succulents that is! Lol) so I will need pots to put them in in a bit. Thanks for reminding me!

Maximo · 08-16-2013, 07:03 AM

Beautiful! I too love the succulents. Glad you are able to get back into the plants. I had to give up most of my potted plants -- too much going on, but I hope to get back to it one day.

yorkietalkjilly · 08-16-2013, 07:07 AM

Those are just beautiful. You make me want to grow something!

How fun! I so wish I lived near you bc I would totally make hypertufa pots with you! I just love how they look - rough hewn, concrete-y, organic, earthy. If you make them, def let us know how it goes.

Love your tilty pots...your 5 yr old plant is gorgeous.

I can never keep sempervivums nice and tight / short like the picture I'm attaching. Can you? Mine always get the uglies. Do you get yours locally, or do you order online? The online places have such a great variety.
