New courtyard plantings

courtyard gardens are now planted out with succulents, in this photo there's two sedums, a kalanchoe & echeveria big red.
Echeveria pink frills about to flower, aeonium chocolate rose, kalanchoe, sedum variagated, and aeonium variagata up the back.A couple of aloes, echeveria black prince, echeveria mexican giant,  aeomium short black, sedeveria darley dale, some sedums & kalanchoesAloe striata coral, echeveria white rose, echeveria frosty, echeveria set oliver, unknown small echeveria, sedum gold mound & tall unknown kalanchoe.Echeveria perle von nuremburg, sedums & kalanchoe, most of which I dont know names as they were cuttings & babies I have accumulated, once they all grow & flower maybe I'll be able to figure out what they are.  I ended up reasonably full & now I just have to wait for them to fill in the spaces.

  1. Wonderful plantings - I also planted succulents though our climate isn't the best for some of them. Different ones from yours - though like you many are nameless cuttings at this point, so who knows! Interesting you put straw around them. I haven't seen that before and am wondering why? Hope they fill in for you in a most satisfying way! Thanks for visiting our GBBD!

  2. I love your GBBD country mouse, I put sugar cane straw down to try & conserve a little moisture, Im gardening in Australian beach sand, which is very fine & water repellant.

  3. This is looking great Becc! It looks like you have them in a fairly shaded location which is good. It's nice to get your hands in the dirt. Right now I am looking outside and it pouring cats and dogs! Crazy weather. Been raining for about 4 days now. I am ready for it to be done!!!! I want spring!

  4. That looks like it will be a fun planting! ...And it just reminded me that I need to go rescue my hens and chicks from being overrun out in the front garden. I hope things cool down a bit for you now that autumn is coming on.
