Next time you pass by a hardware section. Ask them to show you different GI wires. Start from the thinnest gauge. Bend pieces with your fingers then as they get thicker, pair of pliers. No need to buy, just check. See how your mind will come up with new ways to use this soft, flexible and strong medium. I would advise a pair of bolt cutters one foot size if you make a go at it I tip my hat to you. .

Arif.

I tip my hat to you. Yes it has long stalks and many buds but the flower are smaller then those Graptosedums. Tiny flowers. I have been trying to understand why all of you wait year long to see faded cream 3/16 inch flowers Blinking . Not exact but about 2.5 centimeters make an inch.
One mans food is another mans poison Shrug! .

Hurray! I had started to wonder where you were? The flower is all right, you just need a camera and a macro at 1.5 magnification then a computer to blow it up in order to appreciate it's silky beauty I tip my hat to you. .

That's how I feel! When it comes to flowers on succulents, I usually cut the bloom stem as close to the plant as possible and don't bother with waiting for the flower. Only succulent I wait for the flowers is the hoya and stapelia...And when it comes to potting up my spring/summer pots I choose for foliage, not flower. I choose huecheras, grasses, little mahogany, rosemary, astilbes, ferns, lamiums, etc.

Arif, can you direct me to your "hanging wall" pictures, or start a new thread with them? I am very interested!
In the end, only kindness matters.

Science is not the answer, it is the question.
