We created more space in our garden to add a bunch more rock succulent containers.
Succulent container #23
Above is a succulent container from our last batch. It is still looking awesome. I wish I could say the same for the grass that you can see in the background. It rarely rains in SF during the summer months, and we are conserving H2O this season by not watering the lawn that much.
Put on finishing touches.
These rock containers are pretty cool. We scored a bunch of them last winter, and finally getting around to planting the last of them. Megan is tucking a couple more cuttings into the rock bowl.
Just one more sedum.
Another one ready.
and…done. This Graptopetalum paraguayense (center) also called Ghost Plant, changes it looks depending how much sunlight it gets.
You guys are next.
Now to move on to these cute kangaroo guys.

Those containers look great! The color really compliments the succulents. Those kangaroos are amazing.

Hey, thanks Free Range Girl. Yeah, that Graptopetalum paraguayense is a funny one. All of the ones in our garden are from the same plant originally. However, the ones in the sun are darker, and the ones that get more light…are lighter in color…and everywhere in between. Matti
