Loves on a Thursday :: Succulents

Today I'm excited to be co-hosting Loves on a Thursday over at Imprintalish.  Lish hosts a weekly link-up party where you can link up your post about what you love.

This week I've been thinking about succulents, one of my favorite plants. I've done a number of posts on succulents before and I just can't seem to get enough of them.

Today I'm loving succulents mixed with other flowers and elements.

Loving them with pink flowers, moss and drift wood...

wrapped in Kraft paper clustered together in a small wooden box as a center piece...

in a thick wooded planter...

in a wooden Mexican sugar mold as a planter...

and even in a wedding bouquet mixed in with other leaves and flowers.

They just look so lovely!   
And what about you, what have you been loving recently?

Plants, Plants and more Plants

Last weekend I went to a few nurseries with some friends.  The first one was a wholesale nursery called Riverbend and I was amazed at the great prices! I picked up 3 plants for only $7 including purple basil which I'd never seen before.
  
Then we headed to Hewitt on Hillsboro Road.  I loved the huge variety of plants that we saw as we wandered around looking at everything.

There was a small gift shop inside,
flower pots outside,

succulent arrangements,

 greenhouses,

types of flowers I had never seen before,


and more succulents and sedums than I could have imagined!

 It was a great sunny day to visit these places but after 4 hours we were all exhausted! 
Needless to say, I can't wait to go back again.

And here's what what I ended up with, some great finds!

Have you discovered any new plants recently?
