Okay, I cheated by not showing you how tiny they are. I was just amazed at how beautiful they were when magnified. If you want to see them closer up, go HERE.

This is actually a huge spindly bush that grows up from my lot below..at least 15 feet high. It looks weedy from farther away and today all the flowers are closed, but looks beautiful in this photo, I think. And the other closer up photos. Link above.

Even though Cee is taking a break, there is no rest for the wicked so it has been decreed that I have to keep posting a flower a day until she comes back… and then continue for forever!!! This Echeveria Crimson Tide, although not a flower, is as pretty as one and the bonus is that it actually is flowering!
