New succulents

Went to Home Depot today to grab some stuff and saw they were selling a bunch of succulents including cactis. I bought my first sedum and really got into it because they're easy to maintain and does not seem to attract too many insects. August has been a busy month for me and it's tough to keep up with watering, the sedum has been growing exceptionally well despite the neglect. Fern from Life on the Balcony has gorgoeus succulents arrangments.

These plants weren't labeled so I don't know what they're called. Do you know the names of them? Any tips you can share regarding succulents care will be greatly appreciated!

Succulents arrangement

I saw this beautiful succulents arrangement at the Bellagio hotel. I didn't know succulents can be kept indoors?? The arrangment is beautiful.

My new love – Succulents

I don't know why I didn't get any succulents this year but I'm starting to like them a lot.  I like it because it's very low maintenance and it's heat & drought tolerant which means less watering.  Going to the nursery is a dangerous event because I always come out of the nursery buying more stuff than I planned! I promised myself not to go back to the nursery after my garden shopping spree in spring.  However I had an excuse this time, I needed to get the organic pest control solution.  Guess what, I was right, I came out of the nursery with yet ANOTHER plant in my hands.  I just couldn't resist, this plant was screaming "buy me, buy me!" :-) .

So here's 'Angelina' from Proven Winners.  It's full sun, drought and heat tolerant spreading plant, which is perfect for my sunny deck.
