Black Hens & Chicks Blooming

in the birdbath planter on the back porch

We were at Lowe's a few weeks ago and ran across some new hens and chicks they had just got in and since they were something different we just had to bring them home. So far the emerald empress have not done anything except survive but the black ones are blooming and look great.

I had planned on showing my lastest cross stitch finish but forgot the gizmo for the camera so that will have to wait until next week. Have a wonderful weekend.

Once again I am joining Teri for Cactus Monday

I was so excited this weekend to see my spider web blooming since I never thought it would bloom this year. The garden center where I bought it said probably next year for blooms.

This is a close up of my birdbath planter. My hens and chicks actually survived winter I was happy to see and I added more along with the cactus. It is supposed to have a bright yellow bloom on it.

My prickly pear cactus are starting to grow. I just planted these this spring and they are finally showing signs of life. I can't wait for them to grow and fill up my pot. They are planted in an aluminum light fixture bowl I turned upside down in my big pot. After seeing Cindees' broken glass in her bbq and how good it made her cactus look I'm going to have to find some for mine.
