I love the colours on that second snap. It amazes me how many colours and textures succulents have.
Great photos Fern! Where do you buy these beautiful succulents?
Mary–Yep! Amazing eh? It has 4 or 5 flower spikes too.
Laura–Which is especially nice when the succulents look like flowers themselves. Nice colors in plants that look like flowers year round.
Louise–Thanks! I actually bought all of these succulents at Target, believe it or not.
beautiful Fern! I love the upclose of the last one, so gorgeous!
Gorgeous! Tweet, tweet. =)
one question for you: do these get full sun or partial shade? they look so healthy.
Mel–I keep almost all of my succulents in filtered light or part shade, as they tend to scorch in full sun in my area.
Gorgeous, collection of succulents. I was surprised by the variety of succulents at Target. I’ll be bummed when they shut down their garden centers this fall.
Beautiful beautiful planter. Love the shapes and the orange is yummy.
