Sedums, Echeveria and other mixed succulents. One year I had a Paddle Kalanchoe on one side. Kinda reminded me of putting a big bow on a wreath. Might do that again this year.

Clint, which did you buy?
Here's what i did when i got echeveria fever last Fall: sorry to those people who saw this tired photo more than once already

The pic just shows 2 of the 3 tier baskets. I went to an Antique Trove place that had all this garden furniture, pots, metal furnishings and tools, etc rusting outside and I dragged it out from a corner booth that was fillled with egg collecting, bottle collecting baskets and racks. Took it home, sanded it , spray painted it and planted it in my dining room this Jan because couldn't stand the echeverias calling to me and the never arriving Spring...I've seen this basket type for $125 and I got it for $45. I have Graptovera Debbie, E. Violet Queen, E. Lola, E. Oliver, E. Runyonii, E.Pulidonis, E. Lime & Chili and others planted in the baskets.

It's usually when you are not looking for it that you can find it. You gotta just trick your self not to look for it but in the recesses of your mind you are always thinking of it if you are not thinking of where the acetabulum is located on the body...

I split this off from the sempervivum thread so we won't loose all the wonderful tender succulents.

Thanks Lynn, I didn't want to get off topic. You know how my discussion can wander. There are so many wonderful plants out there.

Well now we can just post away with our echeveria and any other tender succulents.

Bev this is the first time I've seen your above photo, it's a beautiful planting.

Clint where are you photos of you new plants?

Love the tiered planter. Do you still have it planted. Love to see more pictures of that. Very nice. Holly this cracks me up "There are so many wonderful plants out there." Spoken like a true plant collector. Wish these plants were more cold hardy.

Wishing they were cold hardy.... I came very close to buying some today but don't really have a good place with decent light to have them inside. The specimens I saw today were so very nice. But.......

I would have another very large plant collection if these were hardy.

I put this together yesterday. Just a few things propagated from some I had. They just seem to grow leggy and I cut the tops off and reroot.

Spring, Lynn, Clint
Here's pics of the baskets I got from collectible/antique mall. I sanded, spray painted, mossed it, put soil and then echeverias, sedum, crassula, graptoveria, graptosedum:
To be worked on to get rid of rust and to paint:

Hardware cloth on bottom of basket and then moss and finally plants:

Planted In Jan:

Left side Bottom Echeveria Violet Queen from a neighbor that wanted all the echeveria to be ripped out of her large pot and sold in my garage sale...Of course I kept 3 heads...
