Pencil Plant: Flower of the day, Aug 25, 2018
I have always known this plant as a pencil plant. Its scientific name is Euphorbia Tirucalli. It is also known as a pencil cactus or milk brush, due to its white sap, but it is actually a succulent. I’ve never before seen one turn red as this one did. Click on photo to enlarge it.
Jade Plant birth: Flower of the Day, Dec 17, 2016
Click on first photo to enlarge and see captions.
I found this perfect little succulent “flower” lying on the brick sidewalk
attached to one jade plant leaf.
It had grown with no soil and merely one tiny red root twining up to catch any spare moisture in the air
This gives you a little better idea of the scale.
Nearly Xmas and Cee’s Poinsettia is a must-see
Almost a Flower: Flower of the Day, Nov 28, 2016
I love that in more northern climes, succulents give us the illusion that flowers are blooming all year long. I love the subtle shades in this one.

Like a Flower: Flower of the Day, Nov 17 2016
Back when I lived in a place where flowers didn’t bloom year round, I always felt that my succulents were a flower of sorts. This jade plant blooms like a flower rising above the falling foliage of its pot companion.

More Sedum: Flower of the Day, Sept. 19, 2016
Ms. Bee, Ms. Bee, how much more lush could a sedum be?
(An interesting fact revealed to me by a bee scholar is that worker bees are females without ovaries, not males, so my former usage of Mr. Bee was incorrect. Now who would know that??? He who knows all: Forgottenman!!!)

Succulent Potential: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge, Jan. 5, 2016
Succulent Potential
The beginnings of flowers are often even more spectacular than the finished product. I love this starburst effect on one of my most prolific succulent plants.
