   What a smart idea to use rocks and marbles to create a butterfly drinking area. Your succulents like healthy and happy. Isn't it nice to have alternatives when the weather doesn't cooperate.

   I am trying my hand at a succulent garden this year. I have trouble remembering which ones are hardy in my area, so I have to take everything apart and bring some of them indoors for the winter. Yours look so healthy! The butterfly drinking area is so clever! Thanks for sharing!

   best to go to a nursery ask what grows well in your area ...get a few and plant in a small pot and water once a wk...see how they do ...good luck :)

   Yay for succulents and their less demanding nature. They let the addiction to gardening be indulged in even if natural rainfall is scarce. I'm sure the bees (and butterflies) appreciate your "watering station" so close to the lavender.

   I've seen so many enviable plants that can be grown in LA. Not sure if I could adapt, but the ability to grow so many cool plants outdoors is tempting. Glad you've found your niche.

   Succulents and cacti are such a delight with all the shapes and colors available. You are so lucky to be able to plant them in your gardens... they are low maintenance, have low water needs but yet give a high return in beauty and visual drama. Have fun!

   Isn't it fun to explore all of the other-worldly shapes of succulents? I hope yours fared well this winter with the over abundance of rain. Love your butterfly/ bee bath. Thanks for sharing.

   Those planters are beautiful. I think the only succulents I have tried are Hen and Chicks. Now that I think aobut it, I don't have any at the time. I better get some and look into a few more that will hack it in Wisconsin.

   Very pretty plants and containers. I like the way you have combined the differently shaped leaves(?) not sure if one calls the appendages leaves, but you know what I mean and
   I'll bet that someone on GPOD is bound to enlighten me! And I love the bird/bee/butterfly bath - that's a really great idea which I will borrow for my own garden. I even gave lavender close to two possibilities.
   Thank you for the inspirations.
