Nearly Xmas and Cee’s Poinsettia is a must-see
Cee’s flower today is a gorgeous poinsettia. See it HERE.
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!!!)

This is the fullest and most beautiful sedum I’ve ever seen. I found it in the garden of the Alexander Graham Bell museum in Nova Scotia.

Okay, I know that this is not the bloom of the echeveria, but I love them as much as any flower and I think they look like a really exotic flower, so here this lady is in all her blushing splendor. E

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.
