No Cure

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

I see no cure for my addiction. I told myself no more, yet when I saw little pots of succulents at Walmart reduced to 64 cents, had to get a couple. A little pot of Ripple Jade, and a pot of Kalanchoe tomentosa, 'Chocolate Soldier.'

    And first I thought they were cancelling (The Cure are playing in Vancouver next month, I think).

    Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier', to be nitpicky about it. Christopher, get thee a 'Golden Girl' too.

    tomentose - hairs that are flat and matted


    Edit - I get it now, nez - thanks, Rina. Sometimes I am as obtuse as an angle.

      Tomentosa or tormentosa?

      funny, breathnez! You are right about torment...

      Christopher, nice plants for excellent price. So you found some space after all, right? I am sure they will flourish in your care.

      With me, it is more Crassula tormentosa, honestly.

      The best way to rid yourself of a temptation is to yield to it. Good job.

    • 10 years ago

      You only bought two? Impressive self control!

    • 10 years ago

      Nice find! I wouldn't resist the urge, either!

      No worries cactusmcharris haha, I had no idea what tomentose meant so now I've learned something!

      I don't think I will be able to stop myself going back there tomorrow, unfortunately...

      Christopher

    • 10 years ago

      I would also be back there tomorrow, if I found a deal like that.....

    • 10 years ago

      I did, but I am too embarrassed to say what I got...just one plant, but...

      Christopher

    • 10 years ago

      Hey, as long as it made you happy!

    • 10 years ago

      What'd you get when you went back? I'm sure as long as it isn't painted no one will judge :)

    • 10 years ago

      Not painted, but something I said I would never buy. I have to learn to never say never.

      Christopher

    • 10 years ago

      Something you said you would never buy.....hmmm, curious minds and all that. A crested plant, Donald Trump's new book, a Furry tail?

    • 10 years ago

      You didn't buy a moon cactus, did you?

    • 10 years ago

      At that price you should not resist. This summer Lowes marked all their plants down to 1.00. At that price I did not want to bother picking them up one by one I had to resist just racking the entire shelves into the buggy.

      I do not mind having duplicates because I like to make combo pots.

    • 10 years ago

      Tell me tell me tell me, or better yet show us a picture!

      marquest, I too would want to shovel them in by the shelf full.

    • 10 years ago

      Well now you HAVE to tell us!!!! LOL! My vote is a bright fluorescent "moon" cactus.

    • 10 years ago

      I am thinking a moon cactus too, but if it something that you wanted, who cares what we think! You spent 1/3 the price of a cup of coffee to get a new plant friend!

    • 10 years ago

      We aren't going to judge. Tell/show us! As long as it makes you happy, that is all that matters.

    • 10 years ago

      Something succulently painted is my guess

    • 10 years ago

      We are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig! Please don't keep us in suspenders!

      Only one person on this forum knows, and she is not telling. At least, I hope not!

      BTW Jeff, I love crested plants, but Donald Trump's book? Not so much.
