Finally, Six on Saturday. Yesterday was one of those days where anything that could go wrong did. Google informed me that my inbox was full and so all the photos I’d taken for SoS did not arrive. On further investigation it transpired I had sent all my mobile phone pictures to a Google cloud in the sky. No problem I located the cloud and deleted it. I thought ALL the photos would still be on my phone. NO, somehow I managed to delete all the photos on my phone as well. The day went downhill from there … And somewhere along the line I also managed to delete this post.
My gmail is still full so this morning I had to take and send more photos to another email account. It’s too early for wine. Anyways, that’s why I am late.
1. Kalanchoe
I will let them speak for themselves.
2. Aeoniums
3. Mystery Succulent?
4. Pots
As the Cymbidum Orchid has finished flowering I decided to remove the display pot and give it a springclean. A spider had taken up residence between the pots and I discovered all these white cottonwool like balls. The spider made a quick getaway which I later discovered hanging from my fringe.
5. Plans – Succulent Garden
The succulent garden despearately needs a complete overhaul. Out of sight out of mind, several plants have moved on to plant heaven.
6. Plotting – Irrigation
A big thank you to a kind neighbour who kindly volunteered to go to the local gardening hardware shop to buy the rest of the parts we needed to complete the irrigation system and some more compost. (we are shielding so we only walk locally or go to the mailbox).
Hopefully, it will stop raining today and I can plant some more seeds and start cleaning the succulent bed.
That’s it for this week. Apologies to Mr P for being late on parade.

Here’s hoping your week goes from strength to strength after yesterday’s unfortunate events.
I too love the succulent garden.

It was nice and sunny this morning so I made a start removing some of the plants that were struggling because they did not have enough sun… and weeding. I love succulents.

Goodness; I have no idea what that is. I am unfamiliar with Bryophyllum.

Fun to see all those succulents growing outside. In Maine, they are pretty much inside plants.

Yes, we are blessed with the weather. I think if we were in the UK I’d probably need a large heated conservatory.

Thanks, Fred. I wondered if it was but could not identify through a google image search.

To me it looked like a kalanchoe but I had to use my plant App ( PlantNet ) to confirm. Very effective sometimes .

Your succulent garden is beautiful. I’m sorry you lost your photos, synchronization between devices is always tricky and I also fear losing photos.

Hi Regina, thanks for stopping by. My succulent garden is always work in progress and presents many challenges because of the hedge.
