D, E

Welcome to our family two new additions! 

This is Drogo, Reid's plant. He picked out the plant, the vessel and the name. We just finished watching four seasons of Game of Thrones and Reid is sad that Drogo had to die so soon and in such an ignominious manner. He deserved a warrior's death. I told Reid that was kind of the point of GoT. Everyone strives so hard and schemes and plans and in the end none of it matters. Because they die. They all die.  

Hopefully this Drogo doesn't die. I wonder if Reid thought of that....

This is Eikou. It means 'glory' in Japanese. Eikou is much smaller than Drogo and planted in a delicate Japanese lusterware teacup. 

These are the first succulents I've ever owned. I only recently have come to appreciate them and someday hope to own many more. 

Both plants were potted using a small amount of potting soil to supplement what they were packaged with, but the majority of the empty space was filled in with horticultural sand.
