Jumps to the previous page with some variations of how that plant grows in different conditions.

The pictures don't do the deep magenta color of the wet wet full sun one any justice at all. (That's the one you have, reverted)
It's a striking color!
Should play well with the little colorful pots.

I reckon it'll show a couple more variations in different conditions, and probably thrive in all of them!

The roots from the bottom of the plug were being kept in water outside, and waterlogged DE inside most recently.

I've gotten flowers inside and outside. Winter and summer.

My 3/$11 from Meehans come August, I hope to be like 18/$66!
One of each!
Its gonna be a huge accent year too!

Getting back on my feet more today...as you know was down with the flu. Will check that site out...and see how one makes a cutting from a succulent. In the backyard it's just stick in the ground. But...Unsure if all are like that...and root so easily. My husband said to put in your rectangular pot. I looked at him like he grew three heads...he laughed and said...Why don't I shut up. lol

I want to get photos...First I have to print off office stuff for accountant and get my list of things done before I can play with my stuff...and get pictures of your pots...and...THAT STUNNING SNOW BIRD!!! Feeling quite blessed...

Recently tidied this moss.....
Backwords world / plastic is wetter.

The thin side of this is staying too wet..the concrete expansion joint material as a base helps.

I should be able to get this fully moss balled out by this summer. With Strawberries.20180412_083102_HDR.jpg

Hope to fill that gap next year...
And hopefully it'll push itself up a good inch, I think it'll look better then.

Quite surprised to find this so nice!

And more surprised to find this little, oregano or thyme? I forget.
Growing out the back of this that I ha ent watered in 2 months! Hay!
