I've never really had any interest in succulent plants. As someone who favors cottage style gardens and colorful, scented blooms, I always considered succulents to be a little too contemporary for my taste. However, the eco friendliness of succulents and the new colors and textures I've seen popping up, inspired me to take a second look.
I've discovered there are many, many varieties of these water friendly wonders and many of them–dare I say–are quite charming. Here you can see succulents working quite nicely alongside african violets and vintage finds.

These little lovelies come from Greenware Design, a two woman design team that combines the talents of two longtime friends–Irene, {the potter } and Leslie { the planter }. Irene creates the original pottery pieces that are then planted with unique arrangements by Leslie. They are then shipped out directly from their Savannah, Georgia etsy shop–fabulous!
Five groups of green gray, burgandy and silver succulents make up this distinctive wreath that can last up to a year with light watering every 3-8 weeks.
There are some incredible resources if you're interested in doing a little research on the many varieties of succulents:

I am with you! I never paid much attention to them until I started seeing them represented in a whole fresh new light! I am loving them now and have begun a small collection. I can say from experience that the pieces from Greenware designs are so very lovely, and when they have expired you have a gorgeous vessel left to use however you please!
Thanks for finding and sharing these resources!

Thanks Melissa and M&Co...so glad you commented and I appreciate the feedback on Greenware. I was so surprised to find such a thing on etsy of all places. Melissa is on it! Is that an image of one on your flickr-so cute.

Wow, seeing them all together like that, with so many different variations, hmm, I think I need to go make a trip out to my local nursery :) Hurray for succulents!
