Welcoming spring with a blast of Aeonium ‘Medusa’, showing
off it’s long-lasting leaves in happy hues of violet, coral & lime.💜🩷💚 (No these are not the flowers.) Footed blue pots in sky blue glaze make the perfect home for my nifty telescopic sea flowers. The colour actually intensifies in cool weather! Aeonium (from the Canary islands) love full sun & little water. They are super easy to propagate from stem cuttings (or snappings☺️) & attract attention as the focal point of any container planting.

Can’t wait to wheel Rosa’s urn to its outdoor position in 54 days!☀️ This is hands down the heaviest of all my outdoor planters. In winter it’s kept in a cold-frame where it stops growing as it experiences dry, cool, winter rest. Like all of us I guess.🥶 Agave 'Kissho Kan' is usually solitary but this guy produces lots of off-sets (pups) which I separate & plant in other containers. A Japanese cultivar with creamy white margins, the leaves are soft & rigid, with sharp cinnamon teeth.

An early blast of arctic air has pushed temps way below seasonal in southern Ontario. Not cool.🥶 This is when I move all my cacti to a bright but chilly part of the house & pull back on the watering. Remember that even cacti experience winter in their natural habitat. (It's just not as cold & damp as ours.)

Perfect pairing of a showy begonia with a glazed stump pot.💚💛💚 This plant likes to dry out between waterings & indoors appreciates filtered, bright sunlight. Begonia soli-mutata (Sun-changing begonia) is native to Brazil & toxic to pets. Stays small unlike most of its cousins.

Late summer/early fall is when a lot of succulents have gathered enough sunshine to finally bloom!☀️☀️ My specimen stapelia hirsuta is about to put on a show. I wonder what colour the inside petals are going to be. Any guesses?🤔🤫

Another batch of plump Graptopetalum pachyphyllum (Bluebean) is prepped for delivery.😃 These ceramic sleeves in matte pumpkin finish are windowsill candy. The official end of summer doesn’t mean the end of summer. Succulents in particular LOVE this time of year. Halt watering & watch for new colouration! We’re still getting enough hours of sunlight to support strong growth.🌞
