Just love that Terra cotta pot, What a great idea.
Allison, Thanks for the info.

Marti, You could try a saddle bag approach with your horse. A plant on each side if you find something to hang over it that would hold pots.

And I like the idea of something growing up through the seat. Isn't it fun to see how each of us sees things in a different way.

Marti you have such a wonderful imagination, whatever you do with them will be great.

Thanks all!! I have a succulent? growing here that I'd like to know more about. I've seen it around other peoples homes with different color flowers. Does anyone recognize this?

Maybe a few more photos Marti? From above photo it looks like one of the Sedum telephium types.

Sedum was my guess.

OK, I got 2 more pictures of it. Hope this helps. The plant gets about 2 foot tall.

It does appear to be a sedum. It should come back next year as a larger clump. I like to leave the dead stalks until the new foliage starts peeping through in the spring.

It has come back every spring for the last 3 years and is bigger every yr. I would like to get some of the other colors. These one is white and I saw a neighbor that has some that have pink flowers. Will have to go begging!!

Can't wait to see photos next year when it blooms again Marti.

This type of sedum is really pretty in whites and pinks.
Try Metrona


Crystal Pink

Beautiful Jo Ann. I really love the red stems on Matrona.

I do too. Its a really sturdy plant.I love them when they emerge in spring.They look like a bunch of cabbages.

That does look like my plant. Our local nursery is closed for the winter, so will have to wait until May 1st to check it out with them. I'm going begging to the neighbors and see if I can get cuttings in the spring.

Maybe a begging in mid summer when stems are longer .

Good idea! Thanks

The cut stems root very quickly.

I have never tried to take cuttings from sedum. The new emerging clumps in spring are pretty easy to divide.

It is a great way to start new plants and increase them, to cut some of the stems when they reach full height. Just a two or three stems cut into pieces, each with a joint, will make many new plants.

Thanks Lynn. That helps!
