My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!

My Medusa Head Plants
I got the next two from the first order I placed at www.succulents.us. Euphorbia esculenta, although I am inclined to think it may be Euphorbia inermis.
I'll post some of the earlier pictures I have of this plant when I first received it. I think I may have found a place that all these 'medusa' plants like - morning to mid-day sun, lots of breeze. It is much happier now. What these plants have taught me is that succulents and scorching sunlight are not necessarily friends. You'll see what I mean when I post some of the older pictures.
Euphorbia flanaganii
This one is really happier in this new spot!
Both of these plants have bloomed before, but this time around it is like they are competing against each other for the title of "Gaudiest Fat Plant Ever". Or maybe they just really like the shot of Osmocote I recently gave them....
This last one came in from the "Out of Africa" shipment, and this plant is the reason I believe the first one is E. inermis - Here is Euphorbia esculenta. Go ahead and be amazed by its stunning beauty, it's luscious green complexion and the firm upreaching appendages!!! This one has so much charm and vigor!
There is no way that I could pick just one favorite plant - but for sure these type of plants with their thick caudex and upward reaching arms are definitely up there!
