With inspiration from my recent trip to Southern California, I picked up a selection of succulents the other day when I was at the Greenery in Kelowna.  I rummaged in my garden shed and came upon a terra-cotta pot that was actually from Italy.  I thought the succulents would look very good in it.   Once the weather gets warmer I will move the pot outside.  It just makes a change from the traditional type house plants.

 Eventually I would like to create a larger scale arrangement as soon as I can find a suitable container.  It would be very similar to the one I saw in the little garden shop in Summerland, near Montecito (South California).  I think it would be a welcome addition to my outside seating area.
