  5. They're looking mighty fine. A friend gave me a stripey one as a gift and it had the sweetest wee flower on it. The texture on the leaves is amazing.

  8. Thanks for these lovely comments!

    inaluxe - I'm not sure of the name of that succulent you like so much. If we ever meet up in person you can have a cutting if you like.
