Succulent hayday...a few shots in random order from my screenroom.
Something possessed me to take a few pics today of some of my little cuties...I have taken to giving them people names because I am too lazy to keep memorizing all those botanical names...I am so bad. I do hope you can enjoy just having a look at them. Of course, if anyone needs a botanical name, just let me know, and I'm sure I can find it for you! If you want to see anything closer-up, just click on it. Why are succulents so appealing/artistic? They are just plain old happiness generators! ENJOY!!!

I love them all! Beautiful!
They look great. All nice and green. That is a good idea about naming them. I'm the same way about remembering their botanical names. Love the one you have in the pretty sallow dish. Nice grouping there.
I can see why they make you so happy Julie. They looks so healthy.
now why is that hawthoria sitting by the buddha without a pot?
Wonderful collection that you have there...
Claude- I laughed out loud when I realized you had noticed that Haworthia reinwardtii just sitting there like that!!! It has been dug out of the tire outside for a month already and I have not gotten it repotted. It had to come out of the full sun.
One of these days....I know...I am so bad. :)
I'm certainly happy you took all these photos, what happy and healthy looking plants!!!
Beautiful...
I got an idea - you could do a lovely tray garden with the range you have. What do you think?
Urban Green- I have always wanted to do one...as soon as I have more time to devote, I will definately do it! Thanks for rekindling the idea in my head!!!
They are happy little things aren't they? I just bought String of Bananas and am looking for String of Pearls.
Darla- I killed both of my strings of peas and bananas!!! I could not do well enough for them...maybe they needed more water than I provided. My friend keeps hers in semi shade in a hanging dish under the eave of her house on the north side and hers are gorgeous!!!
I am trying some of the String Of Bananas in my full sun garden...yikes I know. I will put the other part in a hanging container on my front porch. I have things growing in my garden that 'they' say will not grow...
Hi Julie
You have such a great big green thumb! Your plants look amazing...I would have to give them people names too. I don't know plants names...
Hope you are keeping well...feeling good and having a great day

Everyone looks happy. It feels great to check in on all of the plant "subjects" in your succulent kingdom.
now this is what i mean? they are all so lovely and juicy and so so succulent looking, i think i will send senita over for some lessons on how to be a real cactus!!
What is the name of the 8th one from the top? Someone just gave me a plant like that. Thanks!
Siesta Sister- Hi. Thanks for your comment! Counting down from the top, that is a Zig-Zag Cactus. Here is a link that will tell you all about it: Zig-Zag Cactus.
BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION! I am just as amazed as you by the diverse beauty of succulents and cacti!
