Mother's Day

I spent Mother's Day with my mother, of course!  We visited the Cactus & Succulent Show in the morning and stopped at a nursery before heading home to work in my parents' garden.

My parents' yard is so lush and pretty and it feels like a big, quiet, private park!  I took some shots of the oh-so-gragrant roses and other treasures around the property.

And, of course, I can't forget a snapshot of us!

A Succulent Show

 Over the weekend my mom and I visited a local Succulent and Cactus show at a local park where there were many beautiful plants on display and for sale.  It really is amazing to see the diversity among the different variations.  (I only had my iPhone, but it did a great job!)

I'm such a sucker for succulents!

Of course I bought a few for our garden.  I can't wait to find the perfect pot for them!

Succulent Succulents

I'm a sucker for succulents!  So easy to grow and maintain, how could anyone not love them?  They also look great in almost any container (I especially love the mini gold goblets - see above). 

These photos of adorable pots makes me want to grab my car keys and go on a shopping spree!  I recently transplanted my succulents to outdoor containers and I would love to get more for my kitchen window.
