Anyone know what this middle thing is?




Unfortunately mrs mick64 thinks I am spending too much money on containers for my hobby...my latest collection of eight pots...[x2 sets...]





So pretty upset with the news, I locked myself in the garage...



Then I had a brainwave ,make my own...






You cannot keep a good man down....

Very nice pots Mick! I don't believe that the "thing" in the middle of your pot is cold hardy. I forget the name. Someone help us here!! I think it blooms a big smelly flower.

I like your containers too. Are the bottom ones hypertufa?

I think your plant is some type of stapelia, but don't know which one.....

Is it like this one Mick? Starfish Cactus (Ceropegia grandiflora)

Now, can you tell me what the light green one is around the edges of the pot?

Love your new containers, can't wait to see them planted up.

we call them ice plants?







...The one in the middle I have split 6 times so I cannot wait for them to flower...

The containers are concrete I have poured into a mold ,I want to make 10 ,I have told the misses I am planting Geraniums in them [likely story]...

She can't tell difference between the two?
Mick, I am in international gate this après midi on my way to Charles deG to go to France
for the first time.

Hooray Bev! Have a safe and amazing time!!

How far are you from Paris Mick?

I know that mick is more west coastal so a bit far to go. Besides if I was to meet up with him
I would want to meet up standing next to the Semp Conga Line on his property...

Yes, Bev we would love to see that photo.

Bev you made it! Yahoo!!! I hope you have a most amazing trip!

of course cluttered with semps





these go a lovely red at the end of the tips in winter..



Spring is nearly here...

Hi Mick, Beautiful sunrise! Looks like all your plants have survived winter well.

Yeah, photos. Thank you so much Mick. They are all wonderful. Sunset is beautiful.
Berginia is one of my favorite plants. I love their big shiny leaves, and the blooms are a real bonus.
What is the succulent in the last photo? The one with the lovely red tips?

What a fun place to go into and admire your plants! Merci beaucoup (spelling?) for sharing...
