    Like a living sculpture, the only centerpiece you'll need.

    So glad you asked, my current plant crush is Leuchtenbergia principis and I'm thinking it would make a nice post too.

      Leuchtenbergia principis! I love that plant--the cactus that looks like an Agave. Excellent choice, and please post. :)

    It's beautiful! I've never seen one with such a purple cast. Was it in the sun?

      No, I had just got through soaking it. It's whited up again, though there is a bit of purple left on the top.

    It's a beauty. Mine have never turned purple like that, soaking or sun. You've got the touch.

    Beautiful! I just took some photos of my new(ish) Echeveria cante, which I'll post soon.

    Right now, I have a tree crush on my new pyrus calleryana, whcih was planted last February. Because our back yard had no shade whatsoever, we spent a little extra to get a fairly tall pyrus. This is its first autumn, and I'm in love with its color! I can see it from the living room as well as from the kitchen, and I keep taking peeks to see the color change as the sun moves 'round the house.

      I hope it gives you some good shade in the hot summers, Lady. It sounds lovely.

    The presentation is a large part of the charm.

      It looks just as good without a vase to sit on, honest!
