Why?
This afternoon, while looking around my garden, I noticed this:
This is the planter near my front steps. What is wrong is probably not obvious to the casual observer, but see that black hole in the middle? There was a plant there last time I looked!

I don't think it was scratched out by an animal, as there was no sign of the plant anywhere around the pot or elsewhere in the garden. And although there was a bit of the potting mix on the leaves of the remaining plants, there wasn't any on the ground around the planter. So I can only assume that a human did this, but I really can't explain why.

Someone considered it as 'have to have'. Surely they could have just taken a little or knocked on your door and asked for a piece when it were convenient.
you made a wonderful job of revitalising it. Do you know its name? 9type of portulaca?)
It was a hybrid kalanchoe succulent. They are pretty common. Whoever took it probably could have walked across the road and purchased one in a pot for around $4.
Hmmm...isn't it awful to think that someone came into your yard and took that...what cheek! Someone once stole a hanging basket with a flowering cactus in it from the BBQ area in my backyard...took the lot! :-(
Thnx .... Would never have guessed a kalanchoe...it is very pretty. I know the feeling about raising a plant bought in 'God's Waiting Room' at that big Mart. I hope the thief takes good care of it. A stinging nettle might be good in its place!
