{Succulent} Inspiration Ideas

Have you heard? Succulents are all the rage! 

Why, you may ask...

I think it's because they don't require much attention.
In other words, it's difficult to kill them!
(that's good news for those of us who don't have a green thumb)



Another possible reason is because succulents come in a variety of colors, textures and they are just plain gorgeous.

You will find quite a few inspiring ideas

floating around out there using succulents.

I adore the cascading succulents!
The height of the lamp adds some drama and
would look lovely anywhere!

You can even make succulent balls and hang them from a tree 

in your yard or garden. Wow, what a statement!

I went to my local home improvement store's garden center,

and found a slew of succulents there.

Talk about variety, colors, textures, etc.!

After searching around the house for interesting planters...

here is what I came up with.

 The mini silver pitcher made a cute home for a few succulents.

There were even enough to plant in a pottery bowl for the patio.

I'm hoping to propagate the ones I have

(assuming they will be alive in 6 months)

so, who knows where they'll pop up next!
