Okay Patti, how is the bidding going?

I haven't bid yet, I'm waiting for the last few minutes (my strategy). Wish me luck, I'm going for it!

Wishing you luck. I when it arrives at your house we hope you will take a photo for us.

Good luck Patti .

Got it but it cost me! LOL 😬 for gods sake don't tell my hubby.

I promise, I won't tell him.
I can't wait to see it when it arrives at your house.

Patti....our lips are sealed...hush..hush.

I think he knows better when it comes to my garden spending... not to start anything cuz I COULD just be spending it on shoes. But I don't so there. LOL

Well see, you are a very balanced person and have your priorities straight. Who needs shoe anyway.

G'day Patti , Congratulations on your new purchase.

Yeah, Lynn, who needs a closet full of shoes when you can have a beautiful garden instead (besides I have enough shoes right now lol)

I'm kind of sad I didn't get to bid on the semp (if I had lost the crassula I would have bid on the semp). Now I will have to try and get a semp to even things up a little.

Taking suggestions for a hardy and colourful one I can plant out

Here are a few that are tough and colorful, and they have been around for many decades and can be found pretty much around the world.
S. 'Killer', S. 'Jungle Shadows', S. 'Dark Cloud', S. 'Flasher', S. 'Fuego',

You know, I can't find a single one of those you named in Australia?! Not from anyone online anyway. Maybe they are here but under different names because Australia always has confuse us. I am considering S. 'Atropurpureum' Not just for the name, but it looks like a beautiful var. I wonder how hardy it is.

It is a beauty for sure, I have S. 'Atropurpureum'. You will love it.

In a very old very sentimental chipped clay pot.

The very best kind of pot, ones that have meaning for us. I love it Patti, and the wonderful succulent that is in it.

It's a beauty Patti

Well, Congrats on the addition of the new crested Crassula (?) and giving it a new home, Patti!!

Yep Bev you nailed it! It's a Crassula purpureum. Just pray I don't kill it.

This is an as yet unidentified semp. I think it's a tectorum something but can't identify the exact name. Seems to need a lot of sun or else it etoliates.

She's a beauty.

Oh I think I have that one too...Lynn gave me some..it has gotten deep burgundy now.
