Mini Garden

On the kitchen counter in front of the best window in the house for getting sunshine in the winter, lives a tiny garden of succulents.    In the health-well being bagua, for all you Feng Shui people out there.  I don't know if it works, but I am fascinated by the concept of using Feng Shui and latched onto this Feng Shui guru.   Her book lived on my nightstand for over a year and features homes with a timeless quality. I like the way it is organized.too.

The succulent planting on the right is about a year and a half old.  It's still going strong in a 5" x 7" McCoy pottery dish that my mom gave me a long time ago. I love this dish.  Green glaze with tiny brown speckles and scallopy edges.  I have a small collection of McCoy randomly grouped, but this website features some clever collections and displays.

The yellow McCoy dish has a new planting of Echeveria varieties that all came from HOME DEPOT. Yes, that's right, HOME DEPOT.  I was in the store looking for light bulbs when a tall rack of succulents starting calling to me.  They said "take us home to live in that empty yellow dish where the dried out paper whites were living."  So that's what I did.
