Introduction to My Delightful Dumpling Discovery

 Hi Everyone (assuming this content will every become somewhat viewed)

My name is Westley Price, a succulent enthusiast based in the Northern Cape of South Africa. I have an inherent passion for exploring nature as well as photographing succulent plants; A combination that pairs very well.

I had a social media profile, but I felt the platforms force too much content onto users, so I had thought authoring a blog would be more towards my needs, although the audience will inevitably be significantly smaller.

Nevertheless, my idea is to document/chronicle my succulent exploration in the form of a photographic diary, hoping to satisfy both growers and general outdoor enthusiast. 

I am very much a novice when it comes to blogging, but hope to learn as I go, complimenting the content of the blog with a enjoyable viewing experience, but this may take some time!

My hope for this blog is to create an interactive platform where viewers can ask questions, give feedback on the plants as well as my photography and get encouragement on how to stage plants in culture.

So please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, or requests for species you would like to see, and I will attempt to assist where possible. 

NB, please note I do not collect nor sell plants or seeds. If you send these requests to me I will take screenshots and share on the blog. This is not the purpose of the blog and I do not condone these activities.

Lastly, please enjoy the blog and feel free to share the link with like-minded enthusiasts.
