My handyman brought me some plant seedlings yesterday. His wife grows succulent plants of every imaginable variety. We have a common love of plants and have begun sharing starters with one another. I shared an aloe plant with her a few weeks ago. She sent back to me several plants in a bag.

I love cacti and all types of succulents because they require little care, infrequent watering and do really well in the hot South Carolina climate.
