When a message like this: "Hi Loree! We absolutely love your 🌿 content and would be happy to send you some of our drought-tolerant plants. Let us know if you're interested!" shows up in your Instagram feed (especially when you're having a very difficult day), why would you say anything other than... "yes please"?![]()
So of course that's exactly what I said, and a box of Smart Planet drought tolerant plants showed up on my doorstep on yet another difficult day (yes, there have been a lot of them lately)...

Since it was also another very wet day (lots of those lately too), I unpacked the plants on our dining table. Thankfully they were very well packed plants.

And there it is, Sedum adolphi...

These plants were all packed so well, only one broken leaf and barely any soil that escaped from the packing. I was so hesitant to unpack these indoors but I didn't need to be, this is it for the mess...

And look how cute they are!

Thankfully we had a dry day shortly after my unpacking and so I took all my new plants outside.![]()
And that's when I discovered their unique sized pots slip right into the holes on the top of the table under our shade pavilion!![]()
How fabulous is that?! And since these little cuties don't require much water I won't have to make a mess of the table trying to aim at the pots with the hose, like I did with the ferns I had there last summer. Thanks Smart Planet Plants!![]()
