Hi !

Welcome to my photo blog about succulents, and some cacti thrown in for good measure.

Along with photos, I will provide scientific/common names and information on their culture. Please, do not consider the information I provide as an authoritative source. It is from what I know about these plants, and I am NOT an expert! The cultural information is based on my experience in growing succulents and cacti in a tropical environment (Hawai'i) which is by no means an ideal climate for these plants.

Also, for you photography buffs (like me), I will provide pertinent camera data for the photos. All photos in this blog are SOOC (straight out of camera) and not post processed, except for downsizing and/or cropping.

Thanks for visiting!

Tea Cup Succulents

Tea cup succulents. Nikon D800, Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di, Marumi CP.
I had some unused Japanese tea cups taking up space in the cupboard, so I decided to plant some slow growing, smaller succulents in them. I used a masonry bit to drill a hole in the bottom of each cup. I filled each one with loose potting mix and planted varieties that are slow, compact growers (they behave that way in my climate.) Front row, from left to right: Echeveria pulidonis, E. 'Tippy,' E. pulidonis green form. Back: Echeveria pulidonis.
