We have no squirrels here in rural farmland. Too many coyote.

I already have these succulents but I couldn't resist the pots. These were only $2 each:

Here you couldn't even get those empty pots for $2, nice find, Gigi!

I would have grabbed all of those. Score!

I pretty much did ! These empty pots are perfect for spontaneous TY gifts. I will probably add a little bit more plants like jade etc.

I forgot to take a photo of these:

The pink bowls were $2.50, I definitely just bought these for the pots.

Adorable!

Gigi, can you take me shopping with you? You definitely know where to find the bargains. Those pink pots are really nice. Am I correct that they are ceramic/pottery, not plastic?

Sure

Yes, all are ceramic pottery with drain holes. I like making mini-gardens as spontaneous gifts so I always have something handy to give when we have instant get together.

Twenty years ago we bought this tortoise shell rhodo as "reduced to clear." It was in a six inch pot, had only two buds and they were frost damaged.

Over the years it's been hard to contain as it's outgrown all our other rhodos.

A great success story!

I posted this on my personal clearance log but thought I would share here:

More clearance rescue this weekend:

Gosh, like our Lowes never has such stuff. If it's on clearance, it's mostly dead. And even then, it's only like 50% off so it's like $7 for mostly dead plants in a nice pot.

When I got my latest cactus, I noticed the succulents and cacti were all bone dry. Who knows the last time they had been watered. Some were already dead. I know they didn't have any a couple months ago because I looked, so it didn't take them long to kill a few.

Found this one at Lowes on the 50% off shelves. It had outgrown the 6" pot, leaves, flower stalks long and drooping and in general bad shape. The soil was bone dry and falling out of the pot. Wasn't sure it would make a come back, but here it is this spring. A hardy plant, the Lenten Rose.

The first batch was 75% off the second batch was 50% off. They have a lot more different pots but mostly dead succulents that I already have.

When I choose the clearance I look for a pot that I can repurpose if the succulents will not make it. Then I look if there are new succulents that are not yet in my collection or something I can transform into mini bonsai trees and crassula is my top favorite.

Then I also check to see if I pay a $1 for each succulent will the remaining amount still be worthy for the price of the pot :). My price would for smaller empty pots at $2 and bigger pots at $5. This way I will not feel like I am over paying for my clearance rescues.
