That would be so wonderful if the paint'd stay :)

In my opinion, I think they are much prettier in their natural form. Painted succulents (even if you have them in full sun) will sometimes grow leggy from not being able to fully perform photosynthesis. It makes no sense to me because there are echeverias and similar succulents that have purple and blue tones if you grow them in the right conditions. Paint your pot, not your plant.

Sorry but I agree with Sbgibbons. I think it's a form of cruel and unusual punishment

I once got a painted one for my birthday. Planted out in the garden it did this..(see pics)

those painted echeverias make me want to Gag me with a meat hook.

Mara,
Or the person(s) who came up with the idea of painting C&S? ;)

one would be self inflected , the other ,I would be held responsible for.

Sorry not for me they just turn me off, to be honest if they were free I still would not like any of them.

there are people out there who paint roses and other people who buy them. god bless them for making a dollar but it's a strange world.

just remembered a friend who bought a flowering cactus at HD and called me in outrage when he realized the flowers were plastic-ha and likewise ho.

Mara,
Haha, I know. ;) I just don't see harming yourself when you didn't come up with the idea. But in all honestly, I don't condome harming someone else either. I just wonder who comes up with these ideas?

I just read about a glow in the dark coating that Costa Farms has developed and are marketing glow in the dark Sansevieria. Gah!
