That all gels with what I've been reading - probably a lot of it from you, TYVM for the detailed thoughts.

Alpine, good one, a word that alerts me that a plant can't live in south AL, way too hot, humid - and oxygen-y, very close to sea level. I finagle a covering to reduce exposure to rain, but not fight the other things.

Sedeveria 'Sorrento' See the dew?! This is why I don't water often, and since I use rain water, it's usually more toward the sip-side than a good soaking. OK, I confess, I usually water during the middle of the day 'cuz there's less mosquitoes. I make an effort not to get foliage wet, just the 'dirt.' Am I in danger from a visit from the plant police?


And, LOL! I've been propagating like a mad scientist. Might as well make more while they're small...!

Ledebouria socialis, this hasn't made seeds before, can they?:

Portulaca amilis found in the yard. Stuck them in pots, definitely lots of seeds. This plant seems much more suited to be a lawn than the grasses we have, but unfortunately too ephemeral to do that alone. Daggone cute too!


I uploaded this as a multi-plant pic earlier today. It's my fav pot - today.

Root ball of sad looking clearance Portulaca grandiflora (moss rose) I didn't want to try to separate from its' peat, or stick that peat in any of my pots. Been adding other various cuttings over here to see what might come back up next year. The Tradescantia pallida (purple heart) is hardy here. Should like this dry, sunny spot and prevent having to weed-wack around the carport.

The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
