Succulents...

I need Spring, and dirt, and for heaven's sake some warmth!  I took a little trip to a local greenhouse to get a little "Spring" in for the day and I found these:


I had to share.  Succulents are one of my favorite things.  They have amazing texture...look at them...they are awesome.  Look at the pots!  I went nuts when I saw them.  They are covered with moss and lichens and calcium deposits.  Things like this make me giddy...really, really giddy!!!  I am planning a succulent pot for the summer in this fantastic rusted iron pot that I picked up at a garden "hole" last fall.  (Garden holes have much better finds than garden stores...everything is rusted or buried in dirt and you feel a bit like a treasure hunter.)  The textures just send me wild, I love that I can plant a pot of random succulents and it will have enough texture and color variation to be intensely interesting.


Had to share...call it a little Tuesday dose of Spring.  By the way, if you are feeling at all bummed out with Winter - the greenhouses give you the boost of energy to make it through another snowy day...or two...


I can't wait for Spring...
