Happy New Year 2014!

Wishing you all a very happy New Year for 2014 and that your thumbs continue to turn green!
Echeveria pallida is another useful plant for the garden or pot.  It is a lovely lime green colour with a pinky mauve edge to the leaf that is a great colour contrast against darker coloured plants.  Plant in a frost free position or if in a pot move under the eaves in winter.  Easy to propagate from pups or leaves.

Graptopetalum paraguayense - The 'Ghost Plant'

This is a really beautiful and useful plant both in the garden and in pots.  In the garden it makes a lovely colour contrast and loves a sunny position.  In pots it will cascade down the side of the pot and really make a statement.  Very easy to grow, propagate from cuttings and when the plant gets too leggy just prune it back a bit and use those cuttings to create more plants.  What could be easier!
