Absolutely hideous! What on earth is the point in spraying plants like these with paint?!

I want to know the life expectancy of a plant no longer able to breath or produce food?

They are painted, such a shame from natural beauty.

Thus inhibiting their ability to resperate and photosynthesize.

Give PEACE a chance!

Always hate seeing them.

I guess some people are seasonably gullible as well to buy them.

Why they don't sell the plants in full sun with all of their gorgeous natural colors is a mystery to me. Those are so much prettier than paint. I've bought over 100 "tiny green things" and have seen at least 90 of them turn the most amazing colors, from pink to red, blue, gray, purple, orange, brown, chartreuse/yellow, and various variegations. Let's see some real colors, plant'sters!

I've seen the painted cacti lately here too and then I see them on the clearance rack, since no one bought them. I love the way the cooler weather changes the succulents naturally, and love all these posted pics. Here's a few of mine to add to the collection here.

I was taking some winter-color pics today. Since I have a little greenhouse now, I've been keeping plants that live in there out most of the time, except on the nights when protection is needed. I don't take the in-house plants out temporarily because if ants get in one of those, the GH is too full to add ONE MORE POT. LOL!

Mixed:

Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi. What a wild plant! All of this came from a single individual!

K. luciae and Euphorbia tirucalli:

K. marnieriana on L, fedt. on R.

I made some new tiny pots out of various lids & put some colorful snippets in them.

With gorgeous colors like these, blooms are extraneous.
