    I tend to overlook these when taking photos. So the other day I decided to give them a chance to be in the spotlight.

    You have some really nice, and very pretty, succulents. I really like the way you have them displayed. I especially like the first, fifth and sixth.

    I agree with 2ofus as you really know how to display your lovely succulents to their best advantage.

    tasteful presentations with interesting containers and plants. Those look quite nice.

    Thanks everyone. I'm realizing that the only thing I'm liking in containers are the succulents. They don't require much tending to and do pretty well in just about anything thing I stick them in.
    Some are actually doing TOO well! :D

    I agree that succulents are sometimes overlooked in photos Cheryl. Possibly because they are not as 'showy' as others. So I'm glad you remembered them for us all today :stew2: Thanks!

    Yes those are wonderful. I can not grow them. They loose their leaves and never grow. I either over water or something. But I do have a mothers In-law tongue that has bloomed the last 3 summers. That in one plant I can not kill. :stew1:
