Wow! I agree with Bev, who needs a plant ID forum when you are in the right forum.

Hope I'm one of the quasi-friends...You have a great one too! Happy Fourth!

Bev of course you are! I mostly just visit the plumeria and succulents forum because everyone is friendly.

Gee, GeeGee, and I thought you were hunting for succulent information...but constantly distracted by the show-off photos...

Lol... Yes, I love to photographs my babies. I'm not sure if you can tell from the photo but my Black Prince and the Echeveria something something has doubled in size!!! I'm growing a succulent forest!

I love the friendly conversations in these 2 forums.

Wow Gigi. That 'Happy Fourth of July' photo is better than a fireworks display. You certainly do have a green thumb.

And how could anyone not be friendly with you? You have such a friendly, light hearted way about you.
Now you will have to show us an updated photo of the echeveria something something and the Black Prince.

Thanks Lynn, this is the time of the year in my garden that every week a new bloom comes out. I think I even have an Echeveria (no ID) that may bloom. I will definitely post some updated pics.

I look forward to the new photos.

Echeveria no ID with blooms?










Looks like my planters are not going to hold these up much longer.

Hey GeeGee, what's with MiniGnome almost rolling off the planter? Looks like he's being outsted from his home...
Think you need bigger planters or smaller plants?...definitely bigger and fatter gnomes...

Bev, I think I need smaller plants Believe it or not, the gnome was just the right size, when I first planted these succulents, now it is dwarfed (pun intended) by these fast growing succulents. I stopped feeding them but now, some of these are taller than my Dwarf Pink Singapore cuttings.

If they continue to grow this fast I think I might be in trouble.

Trouble could be your "green thumb". We should all have that problem...

That's what DH says, he also wants me to stop bringing a leaf home to propagate.

Gots to be better than bringing home stray dogs and cats...Fertilizer has got to be cheaper than dog/cat food and when's last time you immunized your Dwarf Singapore????

Toenails clipped, teeth cleaned, flea treatment and worming.
Plants win.

Aw but cuddle factor - pets win!!
Great pots Gigi!

that's where DH draws the line. No pets. Plants are easier to take care of and certainly the food is cheaper. However the price of the plants are not cheap.

Thanks Greg! True on the cuddle factor, so long as we can return it at night. Not that we don't like them but We are too busy to take care of pets.

I would be lost without my two cuttle bugs. They are also excellent house security systems.
