Hello my fellow succulent lovers!

Finally I am getting around to my favorite past time - gardening/taking pictures/posting and getting back to a gardening online community!
yeah, no more subscription to that "other site" - and I hope to get my life back - too much sadness this summer... but things are changing! yay...
Well, because of Cali_Sue and Zuzu I got addicted to succulents... both times when I visited them I packed my suitcase with gorgeous succulents... I had to winterize them in the garage and some did really well...

Here they go!

I am really bad and don't have the names... my apologies .. but I am sure Sue& Zuzu knows them all!!!

Hey Kassia, your great collection is almost as varied as mine! You did a great job over-wintering them too. I know the names of many of them but Zuzu wouldn't as she is not into them like we are. The blooming sempervivums will die off so I hope they made lots of babies before they bloomed.
The pretty lavender echeveria where you did some Picasa editing is 'Perle von Nurnberg', also a favorite of mine.
It's surprising how fast things fill in and how big they grow isn't it?

Great collection Kassia - they look so nice in all your funky planters. I'm also envious of your thyme path - another one of my favorite plants.
