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!!!

Shades of Purple
I was walking around the planter benches, looking for mealie bugs to squash and I noticed these plants with a nice shade of purple filling in.
One is a Leuchtenbergia principis I bought from the Iwilei Home Depot. It hasn't grown one little bit since I brought it home a couple of months ago. The books say it is a slow grower so I guess this is another plant that will teach me patience.
The other one is a Opuntia of some sort - these were hitchhikers on another plant I bought (maybe even the Leuchtenbergia).
The sun never really gets too low on the horizon here in Hawaii - so these plants are already getting summer coloring (with the 'spring'-like weather).
