houseplants

Today's theme is: houseplants!  I got this "Ghost Plant" (Graptopetalum paraguayense) at the school greenhouse for some colour variation in my succulent bowl but its actually turned out quite green instead of the promised rosy grey.  And a beautifully prolific "Bolivian Jew" (Callisia repens), also known by its much cuter name "Turtle Vine".  It's growing beautifully in this window and you can practically tear off handfulls of it to pot up!  I'd like to see how it does on the balcony as trailer in planters this summer, I'm sure it'll last until then.
