Succulents in a Shell

 
 
 
Hello everyone,
 
 
At this time of year, I have to take care of my roses...
pruning... replacing the soil in many pots...
Of couse, I know that...I have to...
But I'm reluctant to do yardwork outside due to this cold weather.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So, the lazy gardener decided to spend time planting succulents indoors:)
 
The pot I used was a shell-shaped one.
 

 

 
 
I love those white thin leaves with dots. They're like butterflies, don't they?
 
It's always fun to choose succulents thinking about colors and textures:)
 
 


But it took only 30 minutes to plant them.

So...

It's about time I go out in the garden and prune roses...
 
Hmm...
 
The wind is picking up...

Hmmm

I decided not to...
 
I'll definitely do it tomorrow...:)

I think I said the same phrase yesterday, too...hahaha...

    Hahaha, it's easy to put off work outside when it is cold and windy.

    You used your time well. Those succulents look beautiful. I have not seen the white one before.

    Hi Keity,

    I am glad that you have some time to play with plants!

    Where did you get such cool succulent. Never seen the one that has dots on the leaves.

    I have also at last started taking care of my roses...

    Your roses are calling you Keity www

    I posted a picture I took at last May at your veranda. The color balance of your roses were awesome.

    Hope to see this year too.

      Hi Hide,
      As a matter of fact, I don't have spare time to play with plants these days... I've been awfully busy recently with my job, so these succulents were planted in New Year holidays^^;　At the same time, I also made a wreath with cotton ball you gave me(^_^)v　I'll post it sometime soon.
      I saw your photo of my garden in your previous post. It reminds of the day we met! Hope to see you this spring, too(^O^)／

    Hi Keity, I have never seen those white succulents before, what I they called? Your pictures look lovely :-)

    I am soon to prune my roses too, but right now we are having a cold period so I will need to wait, probably till first week of February.

    Hi Keity; Thanks for visiting my blog. Judging by what I see here on your blog, you are obviously a very artistic person as well as a keen gardener, so I'm hoping we will find plenty of common interests!

    What a beautiful succulent arrangement! I'm planning to set up a hardy succulent garden outside this summer, but your indoor arrangement is inspiring. Maybe I'll do that, too. Lovely!

    Those succulents are so beautiful!

    Today I bought several bulbs flowers, and put them into mugs and on kitchen window.

    Outside it's minus sixteen degrees and snow! It's true winter ;-)

    It's so unusual pot- in a shape of a shell, I love it!
    I have succulent outdoor and have no place for indoor planting. I love your idea to use this pot, Keity.
