A fun day was had
This weekend is "Kom in de kas" ("enter the nursery"), when many nurseries in the Netherlands open their doors to the public. We visited 3 of them, all succulent nurseries of course. On the way home we also popped into a "hobby" succulent nursery that is open on the first Saturday of each month but that we'd never gotten round to visit before.
It turned out to be a very successful day :-) Here are the results:
You can see how I'll be spending my Sunday this weekend: repotting. I will call on you after that for some ID'ing too...

Comments (14)Thanks Diane! Thank you, Kate. It wasn't my first design. I let some of my friends and family see the first one and they didn't seem to like it so I changed it. Now I think I should have gone with my gut and used the first one. This is a pic of the test design. Don't look at the roses they were just spent ones I'd dead headed to use for placement. Thanks Jim! Congratulations, Doll! Post a picture! I'd love to see it! My society has kind of a big reputation for it's arrangements so they kept bugging me to enter. I finally worked up the courage a couple of years ago and now I love it! Hort is fun but arrangements is so much more creative!...See MoreI Had Some Fun..
Comments (3)"We're done'. It sounds like the family cleaned out (took) what they wanted, needed, had room or a use for it. Go to the 'organizing' forum and you may get a better understanding of why stuff was left. Or, interpret as they took the REALLY good stuff. Either way, you got some things that you can enjoy.

The (common) variety name of this one was 'red tips', but - although being only one of a very few with a label - I can't for the love of me remember what it's name is...
I think both are Cheiridopsis, but which variety?
This second one treated my to a nice flower the evening after I got it :-)
And I'm not sure what these red things at the bottom of the 'main' plant are either:
