Three, er, four new pots

I really meant to only make a new Aeonium pot. It turned into another big bowl community PLUS a mostly Aeonium pot. Target had a parcel of awesome mimicry plants. They had Lithops and Argyroderma so I needed to make a pot just for them. I've wanted Lithops for about 9 years, ever since I learned about their existence in undergrad.



This bowl has some more delicate plants and I may have gotten in over my head. I just love all of these colors and textures.

Echeveria Doris Taylor "Woolly Rose", Graptoveria "Moonglow", Fenestraria aurantiaca "Baby Toes", Senecio sp. "mini blue chalk fingers", Aloinopsis luckhoffii, Sedeveria Hybrid "Harry Butterfield", Delosperma nubiqenum, Crassula perforata variegata, Senecio citriformis, Graptopetalum pentandrum superbum

The middle of this pot is waiting for a Crassula argenta monstrosa that I have to break up. I'm going to have one for the community pot and one for a bonsai pot. My boyfriend is taking one to bonsai too.


I did finally get some Aeonium sp. I got an Aeonium arboreum "Tricolor" and a "Blushing Beauty" hybrid. They're planted with Greenovia aurea "Green Rosebuds" and Haworthia retusa acuminata variegata "White Ghost".


There is one more pot that I created today. This one is strictly an Aeonium pot that was inspired by the one little Aeonium sp (I think maybe an Aeonium 'Zwartkop') I found last week and the Aeonium percarneum 'Kiwi' I found last night.

I also found a neat square twisting pot at Goodwill that will become a home for some Echeveria and Sempervivum this weekend. My other neat find last week was this Sedum praeltum cristata. I love the cristata form on this plant. It looks like a little stegosaurus.


Roar!


Cute little Aeonium 'Kiwi'
