Even though I acknowledge that I already have enough succulents, I can't help but check the online stores to see if some of the rarities have come into stock. I found Echeveria Rainbow (the variegated Perle variant) in a 4-inch pot at The Next Gardener for the low low price of $22.10 and put together an order to reach free shipping at $49. Unfortunately I noticed two seconds after hitting the button that I had two Echeveria Purpusorums, the red-spotted variety that has been out of stock at Mountain Crest for weeks. Oh well, rather than mess around with changing the order, one will get a pot and the other will be prominent in the Bonsai Bowl.
Other items in the order are Pachyphytum Apricot Beauty (self-explanatory), Echeveria Linda Jean (very dark), and Crassula cv. Buddha's Temple (stacked leaves). So I need to find five pots, and I currently have only one terra cotta unless some more of my Sempervivums die. Some of these beauties might get plastic pots or end up in the Bonsai Bowl for the time being. Rainbow gets the terra cotta for sure. The image is downloaded from Mountain Crest, which has been out of stock of 2-inch pots (list price $14.99) for as long as I have been checking, but has 4-inch pots for $29.99.
I guess paying more than $2.50 per plant (typical price at Ramsey) makes me a collector.
