My collection of desert plant has recently expanded. My local wal-mart just got in a new shipment of succulents and cacti, I know what you're thinking wal-mart's probably not the best place to buy plants. The thing is they were cheap and had just arrived, plus they all looked pretty healthy and pest free.
I bought three new plants:
A larger Aloe Vera. My baby aloe is taking a long time to grow and I kinda wanted a large one, I'm pretty impatient like that.
Hen and chicks. There was a beautiful hen and chicks plant that had burgundy tipped leaves. It wasn't until I brought it home and re-potted that I discovered it had two 'chicks' already growing.
Echeveria 'black prince'. I already have two succulents that are echeveria, but this one really caught my eye. I love the contrast between the incredibly dark tips and the light green center.
After this recent purchase I decided I must do one of two things, either stop getting plants or expand the area in which I keep my plants. I'm leaning toward the second option, mostly because I have several plants that can be propagated very easily and I would like room for expansion there. Also, there are a lot of cool plants I kind of have my eye on and would rather not be forced to wait.
A larger Aloe Vera. My baby aloe is taking a long time to grow and I kinda wanted a large one, I'm pretty impatient like that.
