Nearly Xmas and Cee’s Poinsettia is a must-see
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.

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.

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
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.

Hen Minus Chick
The Latin name of Hen and Chicks is Sempervivum, which means “live forever” because they are so easy to grow and propagate so easily. One of my favorite succulents.
