I have a thing for succulents. Not only are they are not only a low-water easy-care gardening option, they come in a wide range of sizes, colors and textures.
Mixing varieties of succulents can create incredibly beautiful arrangements. Here are some spectacular succulents bowls by Flora Grubb Gardens of San Francisco for a recent event at the SF Ballet.
I also love the square succulent arrangement above from Succulence a life & garden store also in San Francisco.
This hanging succulent wreath {also from Succulence} really caught my eye. I think it would be fabulous on a front door or garden gate.
Here is an incredible vertical succulent garden that only needs to be sprayed with a little water now and then. It was installed using a Vertical Garden, DIY Panel available at Flora Grubb Gardens. Hmmm... might have to drop by and pick up one of these panels for myself.
Are you thinking of planting some succulents this summer? Here are a few simple step-by-step tips on how to plant succulents in containers.
Happy Friday, Happy Gardening!

Happy weekend!
I must try and make one of these wreaths this year. I can't believe I have kept some of my succulents going for a few years now. Talk about patient plants.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the succulent love... it's awe inspiring! Have a great weekend!!

Be still my heart. Luscious love. The mixed arrangement is just wonderful with it's color tones and texture. Gotta have one now. :) Happy weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteI was converted to succulents last year. I never really 'got' how great they can look until we planted some in containers last summer. Now I love them! And I absolutely adore the vertical succulent gardens from Flora Grubb. They're a bit pricey but I'm sorely tempted. Would be great to cover up a bare trellis in our yard.
ReplyDeleteI love the option of not always having flowers and succulents provide that alternative. They do have such a modern look, one part rebel.

I like that wreath, and that vertical garden is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
Wow, those are amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove these!
ReplyDeleteThey don't survive the winter here so they are a bit too expensive to invest in for just a few months (you need so many of them to make a nice arrangment) but they are so lovely.
These are gorgeous! And I really love that wreath...
