Ok, can't decide if I like this or not. The succulents are Zebrina, then of course three Dracena Plants. I really wanted smaller pebbles, but could not find any. Can't decide if I like the white pebbles or not. Perhaps, a more natural color would have been better, but I thought it would make the white stripes on the Zebrina pop. Sorry, it's a cloudy dreary day here, and even with the flash on the cell phone, I couldn't get a brighter pic. The battery for my camera is charging. I will try a better picture as soon as it charges. But here ya go...still haven't got a figurine for in front of the Dracena's. The Dracena's have beautiful burgundy leaves, also not being picked up because of the dreary day. |

| I think it is really nice and the light pebbles do make the stripes in the zebrina pop. I am thinking that instead of the fourth zebrina bottom right you could add something trailing or with a more horizontal shape for maximum contrast, but I like it as it is! |

| That's a good idea, I'll have to look into that...I have a succulent in one of my other pots call it's name. There are actually 5 Zebrina's in the pot, there is one directly behind the one you referred to. Thank you for your input!! :) |

| I like your planter. I'm certain I'm not the first to think of this but I like aquarium gravel as a top dressing. It comes in a variety of colors and sizes. Paul Smith Pleasant Grove, Utah |

| yea, i looked at the white aquarium gravel, but it was jagged instead of pebble looking, like the natural aquarium gravel is. the other alternative was a white sand, but it washes away to easy when watering. |
