I can't recall ever saying this before, but I want an ant! Adorable!

Great article, Chris!

Thanks for all of the wonderful ideas!

Thank you, Chris.
I love all these ideas to create garden art with sempervivums, any one of them would be a fun project.

I also want an ant Chelle.

Chris great artricle. Look forward to getting back home so I can start planting containers, some that weren't meant to be containers.

I love the hypertufa, you are so creative in the things you make. I also love that outhouse.

I think these plants are special because they inspire so much creativity in people. I can't think of another plant that made me want an ant either!

Very nice! I was trying to throw out stuff today but just had to keep some old baskets and styrofoam...I know I will make hypertufa one day

Christine, do you have any sempervivum?

canadanna - You're really going to have fun with it once you give it a try!

Glad you all liked the ant. Unfortunately I haven't been able to ever find another one, so if any of you do, please let me know.

Well Chris, No ~ I don't have any.

I think I might be the only plant loving person in the world that doesn't have an sempervivum growing. Lol! But I love natural art in the garden and if I start on one of these fun projects, I have a feeling I will be hooked...

I could think of worse things to be hooked on! One of these days you'll pick one up and yeah, probably get hooked!

I'm already wondering how I've lived without them!

Pretty, Chris. All of them are just so very pretty.

Thank you Sharon. You can just do so many crafts with these wonderful little plants. It's like growing your own art supplies!

Chris, thanks so much for the callout! I'm still waiting for the snow to disappear, but maybe it's a good time to get the greenhouse cleaned out - who knows? I might just find something that cries out to be planted!

Thanks for the use of the beautiful pictures! We still have a couple feet of snow here too.
