The words and phrases are all running together when trying to address everything everyone says.
Arif, listen up: Length of tooth is inversely proportional to the cuteness degree. Miss Green Thumb's plants' cuteness will be directly proportional to their growth. Greg's success at achieving hybrid Sempervivum Cheese Puff is as likely as me finding the Orgo cart tomorrow...
Got that?

Arif, it isn't the 'Rosea' form of Firesticks. It looks like it looks around here. And, yes, a lot of rain here in the winter sometimes too, Greg, so sometimes best inside; however, the one is the picture is sitting outside??





LOL, Bev. I gave up my succulent addiction when we moved from CA to TN. Yeah, right. Once a succulent addict, always a succulent addict, IMHO.

Tee, love the presentation .
Bev, don't lose heart, a tuck here, a tuck there and everything will look zerometer like a brand new Merc with the perfume of leather in the air . That's it, cute as a cuddly kitten .
Regards,
Arif.

Tee I love the ladle with the plant in it!! Now regardless what Arif says - that is cute!! I may have to try that with matching salad scoops!!

Ooo, what a wonderful collection, Tee! I had to go back and look again after Greg mentioned the ladles--how incredibly creative of you!

isn't that worth a trip to the thrift store!!

I don't need much encouragement to go junkin'. You just never know what you'll find.

And thanks, ya'll, for the compliments. I've just resigned myself to the fact that I'll most likely always be a succulent addict.

No I did not, she has got everything pat. Spends a lot of time and effort in those displays and I can see the intensity of emotion that pours out . Nothing can hold a candle to that.

Arif.

Okay Tee! How very beautiful! I love your containers! Makes me think I may need to go junking myself!

Closer shot of the spoons, Greg. Planting a set of wooden salad spoons would be way cool, as they say.








Some other old thrift store, estate sale, yard sale stuff used for planters:

Greg what did I tell you, everything just perfect. From cute soldiers all lined up at exact measured distance to utmost chaos. No, no one else can hold a candle . That slipper lets it all slip out :hearts:. An artists palette of exact measured Oh never mind

Arif.

Those are fabulous! I love the high heel! I have some old Crocs and keep thinking I should plant in them, they are perfect. Time to do it!

Jonna, they do inspire huh!!
Tee great job...has Lynn seen these...she's gonna be all hearts too!
Sadly Arif - I understood everything you wrote! I think we're spending too much time together! (although instead of a "candle" I would have said "laddle" "Can't hold a laddle to it!"

Aw thanks. I got a little carried away. I posted some of the pics in the Containers Forum quite awhile ago.

The high heel is a cell phone holder, I think. Something I picked up at the thrift store.

who on here hasn't, Tee?

its partly why I love this place!!

I wonder why, maybe should take the time out and think over it.
Regards,
Arif.

A few more Echeverias (since propagating them was the topic of this particular thread). OK, I'm done now (maybe).

Tee, what was the third plant (green one) in your planter?
And if you all allow me to share with you my echeveria project that I couldn't wait for Spring to plant up, so I did it all in the Dining rm in Jan, then I, like Tee, am done for now...
