I've always like succulents too! But have never bought one for some reason or another. I've love your new collection and it will be exciting to see them grow.

Our of curiosity what does the dessert rose flower end up looking like?

You should go get some June. If you ever find a plant sale near you for just succulents and cactus you'll get great deals and tons of information on how to care for them

The desert rose bloom is beautiful. Here is a picture not mine that I just quickly looked up on google pictures

UNCA's botanical garden is having a plant sale soon and I bet there will be someone there that specializes in succulents. If so, I will just have to get one. :)

Oh and those flowers are gorgeous!

I haven't identified the sort, but I've got probably 50-sqft of some sedum along my driveway. You're welcome to as much as you like.

I performed my annual maintenance on it yesterday, which is "mow over it vigorously". It seems to like it.

Thank you June. If should get one they don't take that much care and are so very nice and inexpensive too.

Bob, Thank You. I would gladely take some sedum whenever you have some to give away. I've been meaning to try some but never find any when I'm looking in the stores.

We should have a big sedum swap! I have 2 different varieties in my front foundation bed. Also, june, there was a woman at City Market today selling succulents. She didn't know many of the names of the varieties at all. It was mostly just a side interest for her, I think, and not her main business. In any case, I got one for myself that I'll have to photograph and identify. I'm sure she'll be back next week june.
