Succulents I found near the South African Cape of Good Hope.

My flower garden is host to a variety of plants I've had for many years. One of my favorites are my tiny succulents. I captured this image one day when the flower buds were just about to open.

Succulents sometimes get spectacular flowers and then fruits, such as this Rhipsalis with its long 'arms'.

I was happy with your views, reactions and comments on my previous photo. Thanks!

Thank you for looking! Isn't God a great artist?

I think I will plant more succulents in the garden as our summers seem to get warmer and drier every year and that's something many other plants don't cope well with. Succulents come in many nice shapes and colours and I especially like the Echeverias, like the one in this photo.

The Sonoran Desert in a winter day's fading light

We bought two large succulents last May at a gardening show and replanted them into bigger pots when we got home. Unfortunately, all of the leaves of both plants dropped off and I thought we'd lost them but they've been wintering in a plastic 'greenhouse' and they've come back bigger and stronger than when we bought them. I'm delighted! Simple pleasures :-))

A crowded pot of succulents at my place.

Unfortunately I have no idea what the name of this pretty plant is, other than now knowing it is a succulent. I noticed it growing in a plant-pot in my Host's garden on Thanksgiving day. Now, thanks to my more learned friends, the plant is ID'd: "Paddle plant" (Kalanchoe luciae) also known as "Desert Cabbage" and "Flipping Flapjacks." The flat, round leaves of this succulent—can grow up to 6 inches in diameter. They begin to blaze red from their tips downward, growing more vibrant with additional sun or cold. From late winter through early spring, pale-yellow blooms open, a pleasing contrast to the fiery leaves.

Took this shot of a bright green succulent plant at the San Diego Zoo.
