.............................what I'm going to display on the plant stand...........without really thinking about it.
Because at Saturday's boot sale I bought these 3 small plants for £5, Thrift, a Succulent and a trailing thing that I've forgotten the name of
and found this old pot and saucer for £1
So it's going to become a sort-of rockery/cacti/succulent display stand. There are plenty of stones from the veg beds to put in the bottom of the pots and lots of small shingle from the front drive to top them so hopefully all good for drainage.
Just one more pot and one more plant needed. Completely different plants to my first idea but that doesn't matter.
Back Tomorrow

Thrift is such a pretty flower, with a great name too
ReplyDeleteIt has a proper name too but I can't remember it
DeleteI wpuld have it festooned with trailing things all over to cover it up.
ReplyDeleteIt's not that bad surely?
DeleteI think you can't go wrong with trailing things, and can take cuttings and make more trailing things!
ReplyDeleteThought about Ivy but thats a bit boring!
DeleteIt looks lovely Sue sorry I do not know the name of the plant but will have a look latter.
ReplyDeleteSeems to be a but cooler this morning.
Enjoy your day.

Another lovely day here
DeleteThe trailing plant looks like Ajuga and the silver Sedum is very easy to take cuttings from.Just stick them in compost filled pots and they will root in about three weeks.
ReplyDeleteI like big sedums too - good flowers for autumn
DeleteI think it is ajuga, too. It is often sold in the US as a ground cover. It spreads!
DeletePlans are there to be revised according to progress.
ReplyDeleteand thank goodness for that!
DeleteI love trailing things too. Don't think that is Ajuga but maybe there are various vaarieties. I have several Ajuga Reptans in thhe garden - their leaves are a darker green and they have purple flowers.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it said Ajuga on the mans plant label. Think it began with a C
DeleteThere are quite a few different ajugas. Ajuga is commonly called bugleweed. I had one with a purplish leaf.
DeleteI love the plant you call “thrift.” You have really transformed the plant stand. It gives me incentive to paint a small table in my garage and use it with clay pots I also have doing nothing right now.
ReplyDeleteThrift grows wild on shingle beaches in some places, its a pretty little plant.
DeleteYour idea sounds good - especially if you have everything ready to use
I have a shelf full of succulents too but I will confess that mine are plastic! I killed all of the real ones and found fake that look real to me!
ReplyDeleteDo what you want and add or change when you feel like it! I think it's great!
I like how it looks and it's different to the old shabby chic step ladder I had at the smallholding and the cottage
DeleteI love it and your plant choices are beautiful! It's a wonderful way to display plants and can easily be changed up whenever the mood strikes you.
ReplyDeleteThrift: sea pink? (Armeria maritima) Not sure it can survive as a house plant.
ReplyDeleteIt's outside!
DeleteAll looks lovely, and I love the colour of the plant stand also
ReplyDeleteExcellent, and when it all fills out, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI like succulents and they do not require lots of care. My cactus and two jade plants require water once a month. Both have doubled in size since I've had them.
ReplyDeleteAloe Vera and a Money/jade plant are all I can keep alive indoors!
DeleteI have found Thrift does not respond well to tap water, so be careful, I know you'd hate to lose it. Looking forward to seeing how this grows and fills out in the coming months. I just bought a cart and filled it with art materials!
