since moving to a desert, we've become big fans of succulents. one of our favorites is the beautiful hens and chicks (shown above). a few weeks ago we tried planting a few "blossoms" in our park strip, which if you've seen it is in need of some help. they didn't seem to be thriving, but they were doing ok. then one evening i happened to be going out to get the mail and saw a little neighborhood girl picking them out of the ground. and that was the downfall of our hens and chicks.
at some point i'd like to get some more and maybe grow them in a pot like the picture. in the meantime i bought a small pot of succulents from the local farmer's market. they stay in the house and are doing well. and b gave me a potted succulent plant for my birthday that we planted in the yard awhile ago. we planted it far away from the park strip--so it should survive as well (fingers crossed).

That is one of the best plant names I've ever heard. Succulents are so interesting looking. I've always thought they looked more animal than plant. Good luck getting them to grow!
