It's a cutting simply stuck in the pot for the holidays. With a profusion of new succulents planted this summer, plenty of opportunities to use cuttings indoors for holiday cheer. They hold their own, don't require planting yet can be properly planted outdoors in January if one desires. Hum, I could see a blog article on using succulents indoors for the holidays, or maybe making a living wreath out of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mondomuse/3047019502/" rel="nofollow">miniature succulents</a>.

Thanks for having the contest Fern. My first attempt to photograph plants indoors; half the success was dumb luck. I was leaning toward Nell Jean's <a href="http://seedscatterer.blogspot.com/2008/12/enjoying-plants-indoors-epiphyllum.html" rel="nofollow">Epiphyllum oxypetalum</a>. I grow a similar <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mondomuse/1501070794/" rel="nofollow">night blooming cereus</a> and it's an event when they flower, worthy of entertaining. Additionally, I thought Janie's <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janiejonesmt/3054661310/" rel="nofollow">Japanese Lantern Hibiscus</a> was one of the most exotic I've seen. I can see how the judges had a difficult decision. Thanks again, Robert That was certainly fun to participate. Thanks for having the contest Fern.
