Happy Saturday, hope everyone is having a good evening. I watered some plants this heat is really stressing my outdoor plants, and even some of my succulents. Wanted to share a couple pics from yesterday. 1. A cute bunny eating some clover outside of the screened in porch. I got to watch him while I watered my plants. 2. Sedum ‘Gold Dust’ has some new growth (babies) 3. Anacampseros also has some new growth (baby plants) growing from the base. 4. Sempervivum has gotten much bigger since putting it in the ground. 5. My new plant stand on my front porch, I can’t remember if I posted it already or not, so here it is again. lol 🤣 #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #GrowingSuccs #OutdoorGrowing #Anacampseros #Sempervivum #Sedum #PlantAddict #PlantLove #OutsidePlants
