These ALL are great!!!! I started some this spring in a candy rack. Hope they fill in and grow.
Thanks for sharing,
Dorothy

The crested ones are very cool looking.

Neat Eddie!..I've never grown sempervivum..I'll have to check them out!

Eddie
you never cease to amaze everyone, with your talents, beautiful brugs, now this, awesome is all I can think of, you are truly a green thumb gardener, I can only imagine if you lived in florida
Elizabeth

Very cool Eddie!!!! I think the one crested looks like a woman's shoe! I love the ghost plant( or at least that is what I think it is called) it reminds me of my great aunt who always had them growing in urns on her front porch. I don't know how many times I brought starts home and could never keep them alive!!! I love the wheel barrow ideas, I have an old one that I grew herbs in last year, maybe I will do a little something different this year.

Thanks for sharing!!!
Mary

Wow Eddie I really like the wheel barrow ideas!
Shawn

I love those pics. They're very interesting plants. I may have to start me a little container next spring and see what cool combinations I can come up with.

Great displays Eddie!

Eddie,

Your sempervivum and various succulents are quite interesting. I too like the crested one that looks like a womens stilletto. I've not seen any of the crested succulents they look very interesting. Your wheelbarrow gardens are WONDERFUL!

I started collecting succulents a couple years ago and put together this basket along with a couple others that I can't find photos of. I love them, but in our zone, we can not grow most of them outdoors. I can grow various sempervivum outdoors.

Thanks for sharing your photo. Here is a basket i put together and keep in my gh.

Very nice Eddie...What's the gray one in the middle??..The one that looks like flowers??...I'd like to have that one...I have some various sedums and hens and chicks...

knotz

They are so cool! I really like the one that has pink flowers! Your rock display is great! I just planted some hens and chicks and different sedums this year. I am not sure how they will do over the winter.
Great display!
Joyce

gm, thanks for looking at my pics .

joyce , in zone 7 , you should be able to grow many types that are winter hardy . sedums, sempervivims , and orostachy.

knotz , the grey succulent is a type of orostachy. its a fast spreading type and hangs well at the edges of pots . it really adds color to succulent gardens .

tj , can you please post pic again , i can not make it enlarge.

neonposie , santa said you can not have any of my baby succulents lol lol lol

mary , wheellbarrow gardens are great , just keep in mind to add height . i try to get at least 3 layers of height. herbs or succulents , it will get everyones attention .
carmie , these little guys need very little attention . i hope you can find some this spring that is hardy for you .

Thanks Eddie...I'll check into it...I'd really like to have one :)

These are all so cool Eddie!!! I'm lovin' your pics.... The wheelbarrow is very neat but the rock garden is to die for. I'm a huge fan of cactus and succulents. Don't really know if any of mine are sempervivum's... Would the Black Prince echiveria and ghost plant be considered semps? On about half of what I have I ended up with faded tags and lost the names. I was told that some of it was very rare but I really don't have a clue. Also have some of the basics like different jade's, ric rac, donkey tail, string of pearls & string of bananas, different aloe's, agave's, starfish cactus, etc etc etc. I'm a HUGE fan of these types of plants...They get me through the winter!!! I really don't know what of mine might be hardy (if any of it), so keep it all in the "sunroom" (or hippie-hideout) at just above freezing temps for the winter. Thanks for posting your pics. Would love to see more.

I love your gardens & containers but the wheelbarrow is my favorite. I used to have a few different kinds but I guess they got crowded out by other bigger things. Once a 7 foot brug has shaded it, a plant is never the same. LOL

Linda

Oh, I really love those. I think the one looks like a womans shoe as well. I need to post some pics of mine and see if you can tell me if they might be cold hardy or not. I know one of them wasn't since I went outside this afternoon to water and it was white and mushy boohooo. The others looked ok so I moved them to the front porch with everything else that hasn't gone into the garage already.

Eddie just absolutely beautiful!! Since I have most my flowerbeds with rocks and holes around them,I am trying that next year. AND now I know what I am going to use the old wheelbarrow for! You are a amazing gardener Eddie!!!!

Lucy

I love those old wheelbarrows, that is really awesome! I just got a few variegated crested succulents for my soon-to-be 'underwater reef'. Your succulents are all look so happy!

wildflowers , i would love to see some hippie hide out plant pics?
anyone else have succulent pics ?

Eddie,

I'm not sure how to get the photo enlarged without it taking up the entire screen and making everyone scroll from side to side. Sorry about that everyone.
{{gwi:587318}}

Do you keep the flowers spikes on and allow your succulents to bloom? I have quite a few that are blooming and don't know enough about them.

Eddie I think you sell them too. Don't you? I know where I am going for them when the time comes. Is it spring time to plant them in the rocks?`So much to learn oh me oh my.

You guys made me totally addicted to EVERYTHING I see hahahaha

Lucy

Hi Eddie :)

I did a search for orostachy sempervivum and didn't find that one that looks like "flowers", the grey one.

I'd really like to have that one...Any chance you know the exact name so I can find where to purchase some??

Thanks...knotz

They are all really cool looking. I am so happy. The bowl of mine that I thought bit the dust has little tiny babies popping up so I will keep them in the garage with the other plants. I forgot to take pics of my others today. I'll try tomorrow. Those crested ones are really cool. Lenette you must have seen that garden show I saw with them on there and they had made an underwater reef out of them. I thought they were beautiful. I wrote down the name of a black one they had on the show but it wasn't hardy here so I quit looking for it.

ladylotus , ty for the pic , it looks great . i always allow my flower spikes to bloom , most are intence in color . what is you basket lined with? do you have good drainage ?

givelittle gets lot ,
i do sell orostachys sometimes on enternet, but most of my succulents go to the local market .

knotz, the grey one in the pic is orostcahy iwarenge

Eddie,

I have the basket lined with a little piece of rubber liner from my pond. The soil has quite a bit of sand in it and I keep it on the dry side. They seem to be growing very well and I can't wait until I can buy more this spring. I love them.

I have a couple other containers with them also. Very easy to grow.

~Tj~

tj,
is it possible for you to take a pic of one of the plants in your basket ? i do not recognize the finger like one behind the brown stone. may i have a close up shot?
thanks
eddie

Kristy, I never saw that show. I will have to watch for it. I first saw an article a few yrs ago when I subscribed to Sunset magazine. I saved the article and put it in my, 'someday I will make this file' -got a bunch of stuff like that LOL! I have been collecting stuff here and there to make my own. I even found some cool dried spiky puffer fish and some other critters to add.

Later we stopped by Quail Botanical Gardens when we were in CA and I saw in again in person. There are a few other places that also have the underwater sea/ocean reefs with succulents as well. A friend of mine in AZ has a great one but its not public because they have alot of very rare stuff.

Here's another good site (copy and paste in) click on the thumbnails on the left of the page.

Eddie, those are just WONDERFUL displays! I really enjoyed seeing those photos.

You might come and visit my sempervivum blog if you have a spare minute. There are photos of some of 2.000 semps I have.
