So I got a fun, cheap little planter from a Rite Aid for the majority of my succulents, and stuck the others into the bird bath. I'm thinking I'm going to move those bird bath suckers into a big matching planter of their own to take with me to college. I'll want to get some native shallow-rooted plants for the bird bath so my parents don't have to do too much maintenance while I'm away at college! I think I'll get a small matching planter for the cactus too so it'll be a cute little desert plant family! I will post updated photos once I get those new planters and such. Enjoy the photos!

| The whole thing, minus the top of the stalk! My college roommate/best friend and I have named this planter Siam. |

| The cactus. The little bud opens up from time to time and the open flower used to be brighter. I can't tell if it needs something or if it needs less of something or what! |

| The succulents in the bird bath. |
 |
| The bird bath seems empty. I want to move them into a new planter already. |
 |
| The bird bath garden is a good idea, but I just don't think succulents outdoors in the Pacific Northwest is a good idea long-term. I do want the bird bath to remain a mini-garden though! |
