Island of Misfit Succulents

Even half-serious plant collectors have an “Island of Misfits” — plants that you don’t really want or need, but for some reason you keep anyway. It starts with one stuck in some out of the way place, but after a while you keep adding other plants to it until you realize that the “island” is starting to get crowded.

I don’t have an island of misfits. It’s more like an island chain that dots the acre. This particular ragtag bunch are succulents that I found growing places they shouldn’t be (we get lots of “volunteers” here), so I stuck them in the west end of the greenhouse until I figure out what to do with them.

I just noticed yesterday that, for a motley bunch of leftovers, it’s not a bad looking group.
