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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI'll give that a try next.
