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.

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

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!!!)
