Succulent Madness

It started with the Ponytail Palm, which we moved into a new spot, when reading up how to move and reposition it I found out that it was not really a palm but a succulent, a member of the Agave family, real name Beaucarnea recurvata.

So as I like themes, after seeing my dear friend Noeleen's growing collection of succulents, I started planting out a succulent garden, then, before I knew it, the bug got hold of me and I was expanding into pots and then out into shelevs on the back patio, into my nook, and now the whole of the backyard has been dug up for new plantings...lol

Here are a few photos that tell a story of the last 10 months of collecting :)














This is the front garden, now I have expanded to planting out in all sorts of containers.











To be continued :)
