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,,

I will have to remove it as well and put in a larger pot, it has babies growing on it too,

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!

not to get in the way of your bartering session here, ladies, but Diane, I love your cactus/succulents. Some are fsar different thatn i have seen before---and great arrangeing of them, I must say...

Sheri---I agree with you , I love Diane's Pink Strawberry pot as well...

Thanks Carol,, Just don't ask me to name any of them,,

your welcome, Diane--and no I would not do that to you---would I???

I hope not I'd hate to embarrass my self,, I have the name written down somewhere,,,, but that's another story Carol trying to find that list,,

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.

hmmmmm maybe it's a root starter then??? and where ever it attachs it grows another plant????
I haven't seen a bloom yet I may have missed it,??

maybe it is a root starter? mine is hanging in mid air like yours, so I haven't noticed.

Hmmmmmmm I wonder if the little leaf thingie at the end of that stem will just dry up and fall off if it doesn't have something to attach too??

I've only had mine for about a year?

well then I guess we both will find out ,,

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.

very good PlantsRoc! You absolutely did NOT intrude I like that you jumped right in,, Glad you couldn't help your self we're also happy to have you here , Welcome to the gardenhelper!

Is this also known as a Zebra something? 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?
