I heart Succulents

This evening, on the way home from dinner, we stopped at Home Depot so I could pick up some dirt in order to re-pot three of my jade plants — jade plants being the only plants that I can manage to keep alive. For reasons I have yet to determine, I am completely enthralled by succulents, and many evenings before bed you will find me wandering around the apartment checking on all of my jade plants like they are my babies — looking at their new buds, watering them, picking off dead leaves, and in general preening them like we are all gorillas picking lice off of one another.
I also bought another cactus for only $4.99 at Hone Depot — it's the one on the left. There was something very reminiscent of Takashi Murakami's happy little characters with regards to the big red cactus ball with little red cactus balls sticking off of it like pompoms.
