Looks good to me. Maybe you can keep the leggy plants and fill the empty spaces that will not go leggy but in rosette forms. Baby topsy turvy comes to mind or any existing collection you have that grows low.

No drainage holes (yet). I haven't even watered. I just wanted to leave them there for a few weeks and occassionally spray with water.

It's the first year I try my hand at propagating succulents and have them in trays, mostly. But I do have a soft spot for pretty bowls. Lovey dubby

Ive you can always tip the bowl up sideways and place something under it to hold it up...the plants won't mind and you won't have to worry about "drainage" Thumbs up

I posted this arrangment on David of Delands thread but thought it could be enjoyed here too.
I found the soldier when DD cleaned the gutters,probably former neighbors.
The arrangement is supposed to depict the soldier amidst exploding bombs.

I have nothing to do with your wonderful artist's eye for color and combinations. You have an awesome talent for that.
