The colored succulents you showed. People plant them in outdoor pots and in their yards. They propagate.

Yeah they are not natural colors. Look up hen and chicks. There are many variations and natural colors. The Easter egg colors are not natural.

I'm here. Haven't been posting that much because I've had a rough year. First I broke up with my boyfriend of 13 years, then my dad died. It's been a rollercoaster. I still check in regularly and I'll start posting again when I get over my funky mood.

Nice seeing you Chrystal.

I don’t have a green thumb but my husband does. Hopefully between the both of us we can keep Little Ricky alive.
