Fantastic! Did you get some inspiration while traveling all over Vienna? Oh, I forgot, probably in the gardens of your new, small palace lol...

It's good to get rid of some pots, I have been trying to do something similar, but nowhere so nice. Just a utility plastic pots, sticking few seedlings into each that appear from nowhere (perennial sedums...)

Harry, looks great... but what will you do in a couple of years when your beauties outgrow the pot? That's my problem. I usually plant in small pots to contain my Echeveria from reaching their potential size, but they still get big! Thanks for sharing....

It's hard to stop looking at your beautiful pictures.

Thank you Rina; I'm quite sure you can do the same. Buy some nice terracottabowls (they breath) and do it. :) Gives you lot of fun!!

Thanks Pat.

Yes Howard, it's my dilemma. Potting up each and every plant in a single pot takes to much room to store in winter. Friends and even not friends don't want them anymore as a gift. So what to do? Throw them away is to much for me. Sending them to other plantlovers here in Europe is no option: they have everything and more, and...they send back even more.

Second dilemma: I like (very much!!!) to make new plants from leaflets or seed. Just this morning I sowed 4 new pots: Echeveria pulidonis, a Talinum (seed from friend), a pot Anacampseros and eh...Sedum something. ( I already forgot. ) Point is: if you are a bit expiriend (is that a word? - got some skills I mean) most things will thrive. So I end up with probably 10 or 15 new pulidonis; 20 or 30 Anacampseros etc. etc. Should I stop? No: it's about the nicest thing to do!!

Dilemma: yes, but I'll take the burden :)

Harry, I'm in your boat, too. I behead an Echeveria and sometimes I end up with a couple of new plants. Before I know it, fall arrives and there's no room in the Inn. Like you, I don't have a way of disposing of them and hate just tossing them. I would post something on this forum but fear I would be violating rules or would offend someone and that's the last thing I would want. And yes, better to have than not. Keep dry and grow more!

Talinum (Jewels of Opar) is very nice plant, and you'll probably end up with many - it self-seeds very easily. I have them popping in just about every pot, even now.

Oh..my goodness: Talinum calcinium and T. paniculata...

Howard: I just repotted an Adromischus leucophyllus. Three leaves fell of - you know how vulnerable Adro's are. One leaf lookes chanceless, but the other two.... Yummy!!

Harry

It is very pretty plant...just pull the seedlings while small, they come up easily. Mature plant has tuberous roots and harder to pull.

Apparently T. paniculatum is edible - leaves for salads and seeds taste similar to flaxseed...so one can eat them if they take over! - but not too much (contain oxalic acid; I don't know if T. calycinum is not edible)
