more succulents-ish....

I forgot that I had this photo below of a succulent planting at the Portland Yard, Garden & Patio show at the end of February....just your basic succulents/semps in a large (32") and low outdoor bowl, mixed with decorative rock - it was just beautiful. I keep meaning to try this on my own.....

Below is another batch of plantings that we did at the shop with a BEAUTIFUL Agave (my favorite) in one of them. We also used some lemon coral sedum and a few special Echeveria - I think block pots always look great and sophisticated!

My husband got me this pot below for Christmas - from Obleeek in the Bay Area......super lightweight, modern and asymmetrical - perfect for the Adenium I planted in it. It has made itself at home on my kitchen counter and it looks fantastic!

The lovely Miss Barbara recently threw a puppy party for Stella, the amazing wonder-pup - it was a blast and Stella was completely on over-stim....and these cupcakes were definitely a hit! Our friend Eric got them from Saint Cupcake in Northwest Portland and custom-topped with with his very ingenious Stella-Palooza toppers! We were all quite impressed! So crafty! So clever! So yummy! Thanks Eric!
