This little fellow is not wild--I planted him myself in a little succulent garden located, of course, near the cactus in the back. The ball-shaped cactus is at most 2 inches across. I estimate the brilliant pinkish-red blossoms to be at most 1/4 inch across. Thanks to my new macro (close up) lens (a gift from my family last year) I can capture beauty that the naked eye could not see.

So very pretty! The snails just ate my latest attempt to plant herbs. They ate my cilantro!
I always try the non-toxic methods first. Try putting something abrasive around the base of the plant--sand, for example. They do not like to crawl across something abrasive.
I'll give that a try next.
