My friend Tina got me a Sedum 'Odom' over the weekend from The Natural Gardener. It's the lime green one on the left in the photo, in case you couldn't pick it out of a lineup. Or couldn't pick it out as being a plant that someone would see and think of me and buy, seeing as how it's my favoritest color. She brought it to me at work and it made my whole Monday happy! I decided that it needed some friends, so I picked up a Kangaroo Paw and something else that I can't remember off the top of my head. I also got this fabulous blue pot which is a high-density poly resin so it's durable and lightweight. And blue!



This afternoon I drilled some holes in the bottom of the pot, filled the bottom with rocks that I was wondering what to do with after I dug them out of the front garden, and then put in the three plants and some more potting soil. All three plants are perennials in Texas, drought tolerant which is a must for living in my care, and can supposedly take 6+ hours of sun. We'll see about that.

And of course I can't just buy two plants, so I also picked up a columbine and a society garlic, neither of which I photographed. The columbine made it into the ground, but I haven't settled on a place for the garlic yet.

I also potted my Agave Americana in a real pot. It had a bunch of pups which I removed before repotting, so I'll try my hand at starting some new agaves. Perhaps I will be making my own tequila before long. Lord knows I need it.
