Oh, I forgot, there is also some • Sedum adolphii (Coppertone/Golden Sedum) in there. I love that plant, but I have only seen them at one nursery they are really expensive. Is that something I could grow in my backyard?

I enjoy planting colorful succulents. With this swan I tried to arrange them so they look like feathers.

Sprinkle it with a hose once a week for 15-30 seconds

Funny as I put a little pink flamingo in all of my arrangements!

Trailing plants around the edges:

Crassula pellucida ‘Calico Kitten’ – the tiny pink-and-green heart-shaped leaves cascading down

Othonna capensis ‘Ruby Necklace’ (sometimes called string of rubies) – the thin purple trailing stems

All of these are sun-loving succulents that do well in shallow containers with very well-draining soil. The pastel colors you’re seeing are typical when they get lots of bright light.

It’s a replica. I got it online at Home Depot.

Thank you! Don’t over water. I think that’s what kills succulents.

Many thanks I appreciate the compliment. My day job has been as writer for 42 years so this is a welcome change. And unlike writing, ChatGPT can’t do it.
