    I may have to venture into the world of combined pots. Yours look great, Greg! (I've always worried about having to tote them in quickly if a hurricane is headed my way.)

    This isn't exactly a pot. I have some large hunks of interesting coral in my landscape. The holes are just screaming for something to be planted in them. They drain exceptionally well, so I have started with some burro's tail in this spot.

    Crenda, that looks very nice, I like the colored rock mixed with the burro tails, they compliment each other real good.

    Heres a shot of some succulents I resently planted in the ground, I like the many colors but I'm serious I want to set up something similar to your display next.
    Well good night yawl, Greg

    Just one more before I hit the hay, the orange flower is an orchid called poormans orchid, No relation. And on the floor is a small mexican fence post that recently was chopped up because of some fungus so I planted it in this small pot surrounded by firecracker trucalli behind them all.

    Here's something I've been working on....not really colorful right now, though. This is in my fenced flower garden, at the base of an oak tree, so the area is fairly dry. I moved some Sempervivum to fill in the open spaces. Should be awesome this Summer.

    Josh nice looking display there can't wait to see the way it turns once everything get's bigger.

    Kathi, thanksm I think I've seen it in white but I only have the orange colored one. You know what I've noticed is that closer by the beach these epi's bloom like 4 times that size and I can't seem to make mine get that big 35 miles away any tips on that?

    Thanks, Greg

    Sorry Greg,don't know what to tell you.I do live along the coast and mine bloom ALL year long,not as profusely as they do now,but they are never without a bloom.

    Yesterday In wally world I picked up these good size disco type easter eggs,they were 75% off so less than a dollar for a pack of 2,so I got 2 pkgs to hang in the garden and on the patio .In the garden I hung them from the shepards hooks,and on the patio they just hang off hooks.Look nice and sparkly blowin' around in the sun/wind.

    Always looking for more stuff for the gardens.

    PS greg,if you want some of the other colors,of the epis,just say the word,i'd be happy to share.

    Thanks Kathi, actually I would like some of the other colors when you can spare some, I would love some cuttings. WoW!!! all year long blooms I don't know what it is with mine I'm just now starting to get some blooms on mine and I fertilize it and try to create a humid jungle atmosphere for them and they only bloom like once a year. I need some help I guess.

    Nice find on those disco type easter eggs too how about a picture of them when you get a chance.

    Glandulicactus uncinatus seedlings repotted. I had a helluva time untangling these hook spined little rascals from one another to get the job done. I'm hoping for flowers this year.

    My favorite colorful bunch at the moment. Sedum adolphii. No idea why they are taking turns in turning red, but I like it!

    Bob61, I just had to add this one to go with your strawberry pot, I put this one together right at the beginning of Spring. I too like all the nice was that everyone has shared, HEY WHEN YOUR HOOKED! Your HOOKED! Lol...

    brunilda very nice also, its amazing what we can put together to make our own private gardens.

    I'm about to go outside and put a shovel in my hand, let see what comes to mind :)

    These pics are great! A lot of the pics are planted in glazed ceramic pots. Do they all have drainage holes or can I use some that don't?

    Treehugger, Thank you, Well I can say this about the last pic of the "LARGE CUP" and the first pic on this post, those both have drainage holes however I have used some that don't have any holes and it does make a difference, They just don't seem to look strong and healthy, I think you can get away with it if you don't mind rotating them more often than at least once a year.

    Greg

  • Brunilda

    Drainage holes are a must in Florida since we get a lot of rain in the summer. In fact I put a course layer of gravel in the bottom of all my plants so they don't get root rot.

    Angellily - Love your ferocious lizard in the center! I have a folder of "photobombs" by lizards and toads. This guy hopped on my Aloe 'Snowstorm' when I was trying to take a picture. LOL

  • chicagardens

    kathi_mdgd - unfortunately dropbox is not the best for linking images because it links to an image within a dropbox frame page rather than the actual image. if i copy your links i can totally see them within the dropbox frame page.

    I do love dropbox for other things like easy upload of files and sharing with family.

    great pics though! :)

    lakim - love the seashells! i have a couple too, i should post mine.

    angellilly - I have one with a grasshopper and one with a hummingbird i should upload. :)

    hijole - i finally got a teacup! i need to plant something in it. :)

    BrunildaFl - i really like what you did with that corner in your garden, very creative!

  • kathi_mdgd

    Chicago,thanks for that info.I went back to photocopier today.

    Greg,I bought 2 big teacups last week and planted them on Sunday.I'll have to snap a picture and show you.mine came with a saucer,and the drain holes already in them.Got them for just a couple dollars each at a new discount store we recently got here,that is part of the Ross chain of stores.Another great bargain store,with a little of everything in it.

    Heres and oldie I put together about a year ago, lets see I think I named this one the " Don King" of succulents lol..

    Greg

  • Crenda 10A SW FL

    I like "the Don King" of succulents!

    I did something similar, but I didn't choose my plant wisely. He now has dreadlocks covering his face. I think this pot looks like Sgt. Schultz on Hogan's Heroes! LOL

    Crenda, I like those dreads & I can see the resemblance hahaha nice and thick hair too.

    Kathi, I'm just throwing this comment in here about the plant with the ted berries, its this one the Aloe plicatilis, I really like this one too and I'm about to plant him in the ground real soon since I have 4 of them :)

    Greg

  • kathi_mdgd

    Greg and Crenda,i love "don king" and "dreadlocks".My hope is to someday to find a good size pot that's a head and plant some of that blonde grass in it.Greg since you're in s.ca I'm sure you know the name of the grass I'm speaking of,either that or a donkeys tail.

    I planted my teacups the other day,just forgot to take a picture of them,will have to remedy that in the next day or so.

    Kathi_mdgd, Etsy has a TON of head planters in all different prices. Maybe you will find what you want for the grasses.

    Here is a link that might be useful: Head Planters

    Time to bump up this topic...Hello & a marvelous weekend to all.

    All of these are cuttings from the same Euphorbia. I shared my original baby a couple of years back (above), which is a combination straight stalk w/crested head.

    2 lanterns-turned-planters (I'm calling them "planterns"). First one is going to be a work in progress for quite some time. Hopefully this turns out really well and isn't just a costly experiment.

    Thanks for letting me share!
