    Kathi, Who needs to go to the ground, You're doing fabulous above the ground, those all look very nice and I like the color variation too. Your Tea Cups are very cute now all we need to do is have the Tea Party Lol...

    Really great colors and textures!
    The "Jade or Crassula" looks to be Kalanchoe....but I've been wrong before.

    Thanks guys!!
    Spapa,what is the E.Mauna Loa???

    Josh,You could also be correct,i get some of the jades,crassulas,and kalanchoes mixed up,that's why I don't try to name things unless I know for sure.

    Greg,got those teacups for less than half walmarts price at another new discount store we recently got here.

    Seedmoney,come on down~~~~~~~~~~or up or over,where veer you are from me!! LOL

    Nice collection! I love all the colors! What are those wavy planters? I need something like that for my limited space, preferably just a J shape. Did you make or buy them somewhere?

    Also, yes, your "crassula or jade" looks to be a Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana.

    Thanks everyone,now to answer your questions:

    Greg,everyone of those hen and chicks came from the 99 cent store.Not all the same day,but off and on.I had them scattered in different places on the patio,and got tired of changing out the plants(annuals) I had in those stacked pots,so decided to dump them/move them and plant the hen and chicks in there.I think it was a good move on my part.

    Chicago,those teacups came from a new discount store we got here in march called D.D'S discounts,it's part of the Ross chain.Lots of great bargains there,for every part of the house/gardens and also clothes,shoes and accessories.I make sure I check it out once a week at least.

    Sundewd, Those planters dh got from QVC several years ago and paid good money for them.Now they have them here in our 99 cent store from time to time in the terra cotta color.Thanks for the id,so Kalanchoe it is.

    Oh that stap opened today and I got a picture of it,havn't uploaded it yet,as I have another cactus that is in bud now and I want to get it's picture as well.

    Stay tuned!!! LOL

    Kathi - the Mauna Loa is the ruffled echeveria with the vibrant sunset colors! You must keep it in great conditions to keep the color so strong :)

    May I ask how do you grow plants in the cups? Do you drill holes on the bottom?

  • kathi_mdgd

    They already have drain holes in them.The places that make them are finally getting smarter.

    Spapa,it just sits there on that stand and I do very little to it or for it,and it just stays like that.All these plants are in the backyard,which is the south side of my house,and I'm along the coast,with a canyon behind me an a nice ocean breeze coming across the canyon.

    Where is a good source to buy some epi's from at a reasonable price? Love your pictures. I want to grow a few epi's in the future but don't or can't afford the prices of some of them. lol
