"Cle Elum" - My First Succulent Rock Landscape

This landscape cost about $30 in materials including plants. The Moss, and hanging Echeveria- like plant (I dont know name, do you?) Chresta and I collected using guerilla urban collection strategies. This basically entails walking around digging up moss and other botanicals that might not otherwise survive. We do not condone interrupting anything that someone else might be able to enjoy. If you follow that rule and dont enter people's private property I think you might be suprised at the neat things you can find.

Okay, enough chitchat. We gots killer red moss off a wall that faced East likely half the day. I think it adds to the dried out desert effect I was going for. I added an Adenium Somalense and the Japanese Larch both purchased. The slab cost me $6 and the main rock $5. Everything else like was collected within a three block radius of our home. I think the rest of the plants are succulents relative to the Echeveria? Except for the one on the left that looks like a little palm. I cant make out what the tag says....I interpreted it as follows "Padypadium Esvidum." I have two one from the wild and the one shown here came Indoor Sun Shoppe in Fremont.

Anyhow, if you have any tips or ideas...seriously....please comment and lets hear it. I dont care if you have a black thumb and or have never touched a plant. I enjoy the perspective. Thanks for stopping by and letting me share this with you!! Go easy -
