@webesemps - where are you seeing pots like that? I am looking for Adenium pots and nobody seems to have the low ones.

Hetty, I got the green square planter from eBay. I noticed that Bed Bath and Beyond have it online, so you might want to check their store if you have one close.
http://www.bedbathandbeyond.co... They were hard to find here last year too, but I found the black oval one in the photo above at a little greenhouse that sets up in front of a grocery store every year. They also had a round low one. I think as succulents become more popular, they will be easier to find.

Thank you.

Hetty, I saw a lot of them at Orchard Supply Hardware; check out their website for Ella planters. And here's link to a discount coupon they have on planters...

@stilldew I do like the pots and your plants are looking great!

Our very cold winter has resulted in a few sad succulent sights ...






Waa waa.

Sad

I was dumb, or maybe optimistic and planted two tender succulents out a few days ago. Now there's snow on the ground and they are hanging their poor heads.

Most of my succulents in pots went into the garage or house, but I did run out of room. And I actually overlooked the two above. I lost my Manfreda 'Macho Mocha' as well. I really hated that since I grew the little plant all the way to bloom and being able to take an offset for a second plant.

Susan, I hope yours are okay.

Aww sad same here..have since pulled out my noid cacti, still letting it dry out and leaving it alone inside the garage..
My flapjacks mommy plant took a hit as well..but it is now actively recovering with newer pups.
Have just brought out my Desert Rose again, time to wake up this little muscleman.




flapjacks continues to recover


And I lost my Hoya pubicalyx 'Silver Pink'...on the other hand Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen' is doing a-okay!

My Euphorbia tithymaloides has been indoors all winter long, and still indoors right now..at first I am not sure if it is slowly drying down, since it is not growing any new leaves, although the existing ones are truly colorful with the reddish edgings.

Glad to see today that there are now some new growth showing up..woohoo! It is still alive!

It is a beautiful, exotic looking plant.

Thanks Bev..I still have to understand what it really prefers..but so far seems happier in a part sun/part shade set-up.

Lovely day yesterday, and got to visit my favorite Katsura gardens store in Japantown..and these two little ones went home with me:

Very cute and with blooms coming about of Mammillaria duwei:





This one is labeled as Albuca species Augrabie Hills..not really sure where to put this in the database yet..will research more about it.

You got some interesting ones, tarev. I like the Albucas. I'm looking for A. 'Frizzle Sizzle'.

I like your new (to me) avatar, Tee!

Thanks, Bev. I like your avatar too. When I was younger (ahem!), I was quite the romantic.

Wow, so that is a picture of you when you were young????...OK, it's not your avatar that's beautiful, it's you that is...!!!

Can't be Tee in that pic... to me it looks a pic from old, old times
