Aren't these a great bunch of beautiful colors? What's colorful in your mini garden?

So many shades of green, red, gray, yellow, orange, pink, blue-ish, purplish...

Anyone else have some pretty colors going on?

Beautiful Tiffany!

Thank you very much! : )

Some pics from today

Great variety and indeed colorful Tiffany! My all time favorite is the 3rd from last (forgot the name) and California sunset.

My Christmas Village set has been disassembled so I am in the process of replacing with different theme using the same miniature setting. Surprisingly the succulents are holding up pretty well and hasn't gotten too big yet!

Thanks, I totally agree! I think you are complimenting Graptosedum?

The 4th pic from the top is a CA sunset. I just added that one this year, so I'm still getting to know it, don't have much of it yet.

Can't wait to see your new scene in your scene! LOL!

Those are beautiful Tiffany, is that a permanent setup? Or you have to set from new cuttings every season?

Thanks! I have a lot of fun with the mini plants.

The mini gardens they are in are outside & are about as permanent as a ground garden. Most of the plants have been in place for years. As things get too tall or wide, they get trimmed, or scooped out to be replaced with something else. Occasionally something dies & gets replaced. Sometimes there are tiny weeds to pull. ; )

Here are mine. Some of these were clearance and others were free if they do not have pots they just give it to you. I offered to pay but they said you can have it. But I do buy a lot of plants and pots.

Magnificent! I was just commenting on the pretty colors in your scene in the other discussion. The red leaves on that Euphorbia (?) are outstanding!!

I wasn't sure what that red one is. I thought it was a cactus. It came with other succulents that didn't have pots. I collected them since I was buying pots but the store clerk just gave them to me.

Some very nice looking succulents! My collection is much more limited. Many don't grow here because of the heat and lack of cold winters.

I used to kill them a lot too but mostly due to rot during our rainy season. so these are under my back porch where they get morning sun and I can control the watering. I let them dry in between waterings.

Agree, my mini gardens are also where they can't get rained on.

Sedum kimnachii


Misc. micro plants.

Almost forgot these little guys "rollers" Sempervivum. The pics isn't great but they are bright green, purple, and reddish. And SO SMALL!!

I have a lot of baby seedlings of my succulents. They are so adorable!

I gave up on semps a long time ago, they don't like our hot humid weather.

Very colorful succulents. You may want to try an Aeonium 'Velour'.

Tiffany, any guidance / rules of thumb in making one of those? Tried to make one for my cousin today, and it looked awful
