As the lovely roses start to fade for a bit of a winter's rest...
The hardy succulents continue to thrive...
With all their many varieties...
Shapes...
Sizes...
And colors...
They are happy in a rustic setting...
Or a bit more formal...
Along with a statue of Bernadette...
purchased from Atelier De Campagne...
So while other flowers are taking a bit of a rest, succulents
have captured my heart...
However, until my roses return in full bloom, I must always
have some pink flowering near my door...
I hope you all have a wonderful week!

We're having a mild winter so far, but still not mild enough for flowers to be blooming on the veranda. Succulents we have - and you've inspired me to highlight them a little.
ReplyDeleteLovely post, S. The little praying figure among the pots is perfect.
Your succulents are so beautiful and healthy. Mine get a little bitten back by the cold here but I still leave them out all winter. I have some ghost plant from 1985 that I have given pieces of it to dozens of people. I love that the little petals if just left on top of the soil will grow another flower. Lovely post and images.
ReplyDeleteI love your succulents, the heart planter is so fun for Valentines day!! I am just like YOU, I have to have some pink in my yard, I have some cyclamen in my cobalt window box, love those two colors together. I hope 2012 is a wonderful year for you!! xo Kathysue
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely! Nothing in bloom here but the evergreens! After a week of frigid, we had 2 lovely days, and back to cold tomorrow ... sigh! Enjoy the beauty around you my friend!
ReplyDeleteThose are just beautiful! I have gardened for years but have NEVER grown succulents. I don't know why because I see how lovely they are. It is cold here and no green to be seen~ xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI love your choice of pots. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Susan! I’m jealous you have anything growing this time of the year. We’re having a very mild winter so far but everything is still hiding in the ground. You have a beautiful variety of succulents and I love your mix of containers. Wishing you the best for the year ahead!

I love your beautiful with lack of pretense succulents. You have chose very nice pots .
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit .Have a bright and colorful year !
Aren't they the
ReplyDeletedearest wee things?
I had some real
cuties this summer.
I wonder if I could
have wintered them
over? Maybe next
fall I'll bring them in.
Loved your pics!

Love your succulents Susan and agree with everyone about your lovely choice of pots!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely plan on coming for your birthday!
I'm pretty sure I'll have the sale but the best part is going to be celebrating your birthday together!!!!
Have a great week. I'll call you tomorrow.
Love,
Terri
What an awesome post! I love succulents to. I don't have as good a luck as you do with them though. I potted a bunch of them and lost them all over the summer... Do they not like high heat??? Anyway! Your pics are wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for adding your link to Fresh-Cut Friday!
Happy New Year!

such a great story in pictures... I love succulents. I have one that are blooming these days. It's so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...this is all so lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteI've always been completely fascinated by succulents. Aren't they both bizarre and gorgeous all at once?!

Susan,
ReplyDeleteYour succulents are truly beautiful. This is a plant that I have grown fond of in recent years. When I was younger, I didn't give them a second glance. But, now I realize that they are hearty and beautiful in a different way.
And, of course, anything blooming in pink will steal my heart!
All the best in 2012 to you!
xo Elizabeth
Very Pretty!
ReplyDeleteHPS!

Hi Susan, I love your succulents, especially the ones in the white pots. I have recently gotten into succulents myself and have potted a few. I find they are harder to kill! Happy Pink Saturday! ~Marti
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your Pink. Happy Pink Saturday! ~Diane
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the planter pots you have them in too. It's very cold here and unfortunately succulents would not be happy with our weather, giggle. But yours are wonderful. I enjoyed my visit to your lovely blog. Happy Pink Saturday! Hugs. P.S. I hope you will stop by and say hello and enter my Pink Poodle giveaway :-)
ReplyDeleteDarn it, I should have plucked hens chickens from my yard last fall to pot up to enjoy this winter inside like you are doing with your lovely succelent arrangements. I am putting a diary rminder in my calendar right now to remind me to pot my succulents next fall. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYour succulents all look so good. You take good care of them.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend
I love your thriving succulents all the more dear alongside your statue of Bernadette! I can see why they captured your heart :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty pink rose.
