At least you have a place for them, Janet. I bought some 2 inch brown ones the day before that I am going to do a mini combo with before I go to work with my new ones. Still too much rain to make combo pots for them outside. I have such a problem with rot in winter, even if I do not water. Do you have trouble in winter too with rot? Do you have echeverias planted outside that do well year round?

Half Moon Bay Nursery. Do you ever go there? It was so full of life and color. As soon as I walked in thru the back greenhouse I could smell the damp ground and my endorphins were released. I was high as a kite. Then when I walked into the succulent room, my heart was beating faster esp as I saw they had a full load and I immediately went from table to table in a panic of ecstasy having trouble on focusing. I so have a problem. Today I was planning on staying home to do my wifely duties but,then my husband invited me out to his office for lunch. And I immediately thought of all the nurseries out San Ramon way I could go to after lunch. LOL. I am hopeless. But I am also so broke.

That kalanchoe has been a complete delight. Sure has boosted my spirits in the rainy gloom.
