On the spur of the moment I registered to attend a workshop offered by Tallahassee Nursery on planting and caring for succulents. My understanding is that for a small fee ($5.00) participants will come away with a planter and a few choice plants. Today (Saturday) is the big day. I’ll take some photos of my finished project and publish them tomorrow.
In the meantime, I’m savoring the way the word “succulent” rolls off the tongue in a most satisfying manner. I do not have a green thumb, but I’m hoping my succulents will have
a forgiving nature if I croon to them:
“Succulents, oh succulents, your leaves aren’t all that opulent.
At least you are not truculent, and to me you’re almost heaven sent.”
Hope the plants appreciate how difficult that was to rhyme.
Peace, people!
🙂 Nice picture too

Oh no, I don’t have a collection. I found the photo on Pinterest. I wish it was mine!

Oh. I have 10 right now. They don’t like the humidity. Not the best plant to keep in Ireland. It is heartbreaking when they die after a decade or so. You get attached 😦

I learned that they’re easy to propagate (is that the right word), but I need to find a good location for them.

Not all of them. Some are very hard to propagate – it is why I have lost a few 😦

Yeah. It is a myth that all of them are easy to grow. I miss the fallen ones 😦 But I have four ancient buddies, and one of them I got for free as the shop believed he was dead 🙂

I must find a good place for mine to grow. I want them to grow to a ripe old age.
