Hello, fellow succ-ers! Today I thought it would be fun to share pictures of some fun plants in my collection. You can click on most of the pictures to see a larger version. My mom found this terrific haworthia emelyae at her local Osh and bought it for me! Thanks, Mom! (She's getting quite the collection herself, actually.) I put it in this pot, which I found for $2. To me, its texture suggested sea urchins. I topped the soil with pumice and finished it with some glass beads my mom and I found at a thrift store/junkyard in Fairfield.
Thanks for checking these out! I'd love to hear your comments (and see some of your pics!).
Seriously. Like, what's the point of cacti? They're spiny and poke you. What's that? They're not all spiny? Some species of rebutia won't poke me at all? Okay. Well, cacti are boring, though. They're all the same color--this super drab green that-- What? They come in a ton of different colors? Well, surely not pink or purple. Both pink and purple?? Um. Well, they'd hate my climate. It's redwoody and kind of moist in the air, and most other succulents are fine, but cacti wouldn't like it. I just-- What do you mean they're "versatile?" And that they're even more frost-resistant than most other kinds of succulents? Are you being serious? You are. Geez. Okay, fine--twist my arm--I'll get a few cacti and plant them with some crassula and a baby agave. If I have to. For the record, I do not consider myself a "cactus person," but there are definitely a few I can't resist--sulcorebutia rauschii chief among them. How did this happen? |
