061209 succulent balcony.jpgCan you tell we're on a bit of a succulent kick lately? If you have one of those awkward balconies that isn't quite wide enough for a chair but still deserves some attention, why not emulate this look and fill it to brimming with as many beautiful plants as you can get your hands on?

This overflowing balcony can be found in Guadix, a city in Southern Spain. You could go for a more uniform look by using pots of the same color, then put larger plants in the back so that they all receive adequate light. Our balcony is also pretty skinny, and we're thinking we might need to kick up our game and add a few dozen more pots out there for a some extra eye candy.
