saved from being swept up at IKEA

Went to IKEA today and had to pass through their plant section. These poor succulent pieces were being swept up with the rubbish, so I picked them up, took them home and potted them! I only have a small collection of plants, so if they do grow, even though they are common, they will be much loved :)
