    Oh wow @MariaS those are beautiful! I see what you mean about them spreading. Went back to Stodels and found an orange one :love: hehehe, it was in a display I though was not for sale, turns out it was... okay shopping done now :D Looks like it's going to rain (been at my mom's the whole morning) so will carry on this Saturday, hope to find more rocks before then as well. Still need to do water changes today.

    They make great, undemanding pot plants that can live doors in winter.

    @Broder, thank you so much for the identification! Let's hope it stays small :laugh:

    I dug around some more for rocks yesterday and just can't find the size I'm looking for. Think I'm going to need to go the DIY route with some cement and paint.

    Thanks... will try..
    I have seen them in pots but thought it would have to be short term and then they would have to be planted out

    Looks beautiful!!! These little beauties really make an eye-catching display...

    Well.... we had our first rains this weekend which was such a blessing! 55mm in 2 days was not bad
    Its the first time since 2009 that we have rain this early in the season. Everything looks a different green this morning.

    Lol yes @Broder he's a quick thinker. Thanks @MariaS. Nice on the rain front, we're expecting more tomorrow. Dams still not at their full capacity which is worrying. Gotta love the way everything looks after it's rained :)
