Full spectrum of summer succulents

The sedums and semps turn the most attractive colors when they're stressed. I'm really enjoying this grouping of 'tufa pots.

Those are outstanding!

I am planning to make a couple of 'tufa troughs next weekend. I can't wait to start playing with some of the succulents in them. Yours are an inspiration!

Beautiful, Mike! Thank you soo much for the HOSTA seedling and the Iris from Andi's trade, they both have good homes.

I really got bit by the sedum bug this year, they're sooo beautiful and tuff. Mainly the addiction started because I have an ancient rockery that supports only tuff plants. Sedums are my new friend!

I think I have over 100 different kinds already.

I will have to do some tufa bowls and plant up some sedums. I love those mini gardens.
