This has really grown since I arranged it 2 years ago,, I've since taken some of the succulents out of it and seems I will have to again by the end of this next spring,, cactus%20and%20succulents/DSCF0022.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> I took the following succulent out of the above arrangement last spring leaving the two babies behind as seen in the above pic,, Now,, Look how big it's gotten and has even given a baby off of it again,, I will have to remove it from this layered strawberry pot and place in a larger pot,, this one is still outside I just cover it every night and uncover on warm days,, cactus%20and%20succulents/sbpot2.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> The pic below is yet another one I removed last spring and put in a different strawberry pot,, it has since grown a (Guessing) a starter root?? ? Bloom?? Not sure what it is as yet,, anyone know?? I will have to remove it as well and put in a larger pot, it has babies growing on it too, cactus%20and%20succulents/sbpot.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/>

are those still outside or is that a summer picture.
You always have the most unique containers. If I lived close to you I'd beg and beg until you finally gave in and gave me that pink one.

The first Pic is inside the other two are outside,, I took these pictures today I'd trade you a few things, I'd take that elephant in your yard off your hands for the strawberry pot!

The pic below is yet another one I removed last spring and put in a different strawberry pot,, it has since grown a (Guessing) a starter root?? ? Bloom?? Not sure what it is as yet,, anyone know?? I have that same succulent, and it puts off that shoot looking thing too. I have no idea what it is, but mine looks just like yours. I don't think it is a bloom, cause they bloom a little red humpy thing that is attached to the cactus itself.

Okay I can't help it I have to do it. The little striped plant in the strawberry jar is a Haworthia. The little shoot like thing may put out a tiny little flower maybe. The rosette succulent looks like a Echeveria. In the container is what looks like a Rhipsalis and in the front left appears to be a Tillandsia. I honestly knew two of them but with books found the others. Hope I helped- Didn't mean to intrude. G --------------More Plants, Gotta have more plants, can' have just one ----------

I have one that's growing quite well (which is good for me... I seem to like to over-water my cacti) And your telling me it will BLOOM! Now THAT is pretty exciting for me... anything I can do to help that along?
