I forgot to mention this before but I got some cute little succulents down at the shops the other day!

I’m planning on using these little guys for an art project, but I’ve honestly gotten really attached to them over the last few days. I can see why people love to have collections of them and oh no I’m turning into a little old succulent lady now aren’t I

anyway if you want to read more about these little guys I put some more info under the cut here because I am a hopeless nerd

This first one is a Golden Sedum (Sedum adolphi). I love its yellow colors with the greens and reds mixed in, so Ibet it’s going to be really fun to try and draw

This next one is a ‘Salsa’ Sedum according to its label on the pot here, specifically a Sedum pachyphyllum hybrid.

This last one is a Haworthia species. I like this one because its leaves are really translucent and significantly change depending on how you hold it up to the light. For example, its spots look like a dark green in this photo below

But then when you hold it up to the light, you can see how the light shines through its leaves. Something about that just really tickled my fancy

So yes! There are my plant babies! I want to go back to the shop where I got them tomorrow to see if they’ve got any small pots that I could put them in, and maybe the smallest bag of soil they’ve got. These little guys are tiny, their current plastic pots are only 2.5 inches across, but I think some slightly bigger pots with good drainage will probably do them some good.
