I loved this planting of various succulents in an old tree stump at the Hacienda of the 17 Gardens in Guanajuato. I’ll be showing a few more details from those gardens in the next few days.
When I went down to turn off the water intake for the pool, I found this abandoned snail shell. When I got in the steaming water, these two little sun roses had fallen off the succulent plant at the edge of the pool, or more likely been brushed off by the dogs.
To give you some idea of scale:
I think the mystery is solved concerning how one plant could have such a variety of blooms on it. See clues below.
(Click on first photo to enlarge all.)
After a few days, it became clear that there were actually three different colors of kalanchoe planted in each pot! Tres por uno. So much for the variety of buds and blooms on one plant.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day prompt.
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.
