Scratch the burgundy ficus - I just found a scale disk on it (it's new) - won't share anything from that one for quite some time. :) Jude

Penny, I'm including a wider shot of these container plantings, showing the other things around it. Lots of succulents in play here, including some woody ones like the Cussonia paniculata and the Yucca 'Blueboy'. I wanted a lot of silvery tones and lavenders to play off the subtle grays of the mid century modern house. Check out the rest of the set on my Flickr set to see more succulents in this same garden.

Hi Cearaqc: You are right about Oxalis: they grow from tubers and I would be willing to trade some of my purple with pink flowers for some of your green with white flowers. I have had mine for several years and have shared plants with friends by digging out a few tubers and planting in a pot. They multiply quite rapidly. However, I do not grow mine as a houseplant because they need full sun to be really beautiful. So I take them indoors in winter, and withhholding water, overwinter them in the dark in my basement. I have been wanting some of the green one for some time but was waiting for my friend's to 'fill out'. She also grows hers as a houseplant. You can e-mail me to finalize our trade. Secondly, you may want the visit Dave's Garden Plant File on the Donkeytail plant. I did not know what it was so I googled it and it is apparently quite toxic. When I saw the pics. I realize I had a small plant. My DH and I were in our Banker's office when I saw his plant and of course, I had to have a piece. I remember wrapping it in a kleenex, but it is growing very slowly. I touch it quite often to make sure it is making contact with the soil and I am now wondering if it has anything to do with my recent cataract surgery, done in August, and continually 'flaring up': red, swollen, and painful. I have been on steroids and anti-inflammatories since then and there is this 'inflamation' that keeps coming back. This thought is coming to me as I write. You may want to re-consider when you read the file. BTW the Oxalis goes by two names: Oxalis Triangularis and Oxalis regnellii 'Atropurpurea'.
