Houseleek circle in terra cotta ...

Hi Michaella ... thank you... had sunshine yesterday and worked hard in my back garden, but now catching up on indoor tasks while it is raining... at least we don't need watering cans today :o)))

Very attractive TT, nice combination.

Thanks Bob...
I planted up this pot of houseleeks in the springtime, and they've grown together better than I'd hoped ...

Hi Homebird...
Thank you.
Yes, have a go at a houseleek design ... :o)))

This reminds me of a glass paperweight - how pretty.

What a lovely comparison, Cammomile... thanks :o)))

Lovely design and pretty houseleek with the red outer edge .Terra I have started a collection but have only one species at the moment, Mine are Rubra I will post you a picture perhaphs we could do a little swap if you havent already got mine;0)

Hi Pansypotter... Thanks ...
Happy to do some houseleek swaps with you ...

Thanks Clarice and Labdancer :o)

Super, so neat , how do you do it ?

Thank you Valadel ...
The houseleeks did it ... Lol.

Maybe Tt but mine don't look like that. :0))

They look great against your Terracotta pot,Terra...Lol.How much nicer they look,with the right background,it makes all the difference...lovely.:o)

Thanks Bloomer...
The terracotta pot has broken away naturally around the top, and I like the effect ...

Valadel ...
it is important to talk to your houseleeks in "Sempervivum" language .. then they grow in pretty patterns .. ;o) Lol.

They look like a kaleidoscope view........... lovely TT :o)

Hello Neena ... Thanks...
Yes, I can see this one has kaleidoscope patterns.. :o)

Very pretty :o)

Not only a dog trainer, TT, but a houseleek trainer too :) Mine spread all over the gravel in a very disorderly fashion!

LOL ... mines a bit like that Gee , we will have to employ TT to get them trained :o) yours look stunning BTW ... TT :o)

Hi Gee and Amy... Thanks..

"HOUSELEEK OBEDIENCE TRAINING" ~

I start obedience-training with the houseleeks when they are very young ... teaching them to grow to heel, and down and stay ...
... then when they come into contact with gravel, they have to learn to behave themselves nicely ...
...discipline is essential ... disorderly conduct will not be tolerated ... ;o)

that`s lovely..

Thank you Elsiemay... :o)

Nice design TT, makes a lovely show.

Don't you love houseleeks! Great pic!!

Thanks Bellflower and Pip...
Yes, I love Houseleeks too :o)

Lovely Terra. The outside ring is very pretty with the pink outer leaves and the dark tips......What variety please?

Hello Dorjac..
Thank you... I'm not sure I have a label for the outer ring Houseleeks... I'll go look and I'll add another comment if I can ID for you. :o)

I've had a hunt around outside, Dorjac, and I think these are Sempervivum Calcareum... if you take a look at my Houseleek photo of 14th Dec. 09, and my poem blog Houseleek Babies 11th Dec. 2009, you can see how they look in the winter when the inner parts have also developed colour ...
I hope this helps :o)

they look really fantastic...
yes, finally rain in London as well... grass is getting greener:) hope it will soon live to it's international fame - Green English Grass, lol

Thank you Kasia...
Yes, more showers forecast for you tomorrow and Monday... English grass should be green by then :o)

These are lovely TT

Thanks Pam :o)

Very nice TT. You are clever with your houseleeks.

Thank you :o)

What a creative plantation Tt!

Lovely potful Terra ... they're so striking.

This looks very artistic Terra....like a picture :-)

This is lovely, Tt! Looks like a yummy leek pie! :-))

oooooh thanks for the inspiration TT, i had no idea what to do with a bunch cacti I've received as gift, will keep them together on a basket :)

Well done Tt, what a lovely display

Visited Hyde Hall and found Sempervivium Calcareum there. I wondered about Conker, as there was gap in your postings. I am willing him to stay well to quell your anxieties.

Thanks everyone for your comments.
Growing houseleeks is very rewarding ...
pretty plants requiring very little maintenance ...

Thank you Dorjac ...
Conker seems well ...
... his recent illness gave me quite a scare though ...

... We are just having a very hectic few weeks here ...
trying to get lots of tasks done before winter arrives !

What a delightful display......very artistic TT.

Thanks Dotty....
this turned out better than I had imagined :o)

very sweet.
