New Life for Succulants

I have wanted to plant an arrangement of 
succulents for quit sometime now and with
 inspiration from my visit to Rogers Gardens in Newport Beach, CA
 I was recently shopping at IKEA and low and behold 
The Succulent
The encyclopedia of Succulents contains 49 plant families,
 409 plant genera and includes
 7474 scientific names and synonyms.
 4763 taxa and cultivars have their individual description sheet,
 1455 of which are accepted scientific names,
 161 cultivars names and 5858 synonyms.



Here are the varieties I selected.

I had this large glass bowl that I have used for years to
 hold salads in for large groups but decided that it
 was time for it to be of good use as the home for the succulents.

I added the layer of small pebbles( as shown in photo above).
I arranged the succulents and filled in the area with
very small pebbles to give the look in this photo.

Here is a photo of my inspiration from Rogers Garden.
This is a basket with sponge moss and succulents.

This is really an experiment planting the succulents in rock,
 I'll see if they like this environment.
