Water me next week a Succulent's plea
This book is for those that want to learn how to properly care
for succulents either in your urban landscape or potted gardens. It's an excellent book with lots of photos and instructions on what succulents and cactus need regarding water, soil type and food requirements.

from the book Wild Color
