I don't know why or when I started my growing love affair with succulents, but I am indeed smitten by the seemingly endless variety of these flower like, cactus like plants. They are the perfect choice for our unclear weather and drought forecast so I thought I'd put a few of my garden's lovelies up for show…
This Escheveria is in a planter in the back yard patio.
Another type of Escheveria…one with ruffled leaves…this is my oldest having been
in a pot on my front porch for at least 20 years…I never watered it so it was very slow growing!
(above)These are planted in the ground in the front entry way where it gets baking sun all summer. I got them from Home Depot I think.
(above)Also planted in the ground in the entry way…they get more shade…I love the red
border and the gorgeous green.
A new grouping of plants that I transferred from other smaller pots…the contrast is wonderful I think.
(above) These two types of succulents are planted in pots in the back patio…I sheltered them from
the frost all winter long and they made it fine!
Back to the beginning…beautiful right???
The more water they get, the more they grow, but even with very little water, they do extremely well in our hot summer weather.
lovely plants...love them
