Succulents in Full Bloom


You saw these earlier before the buds burst open. Beautiful then, beautiful now.

Time was when I would have cropped this picture, but given permission by Cee’s “rule of 2/3,” I have left the wall above––mainly because I’m intrigued by the quality of light and shadow there. I love the contrast to the very busy crown of thorns and succulent in the foreground. I always know what I like but don’t always know why. Thanks, Cee, for giving a name to this one!!

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.

I don’t know why out of the dozens of pictures I took of more exotic flowers that I decided to post this little succulent bloom. It was tiny–Much magnified here.
