beautiful survivors





all my little succulents are so very happy these days. it's been unusually hot these last months, with rain though, so not dry. to be honest, i have no idea if that's what succulents are supposed to like, but apparently, mine do.they are blooming, growing fast and full yellow flowers.

the first and the last photo are of some big succulents in the garden. i found them last spring. someone had pulled them out of the ground, ripping most of their roots, and then thrown them in the street. i brought them home, put them in water for a while and then replanted them. i wasn't sure they would survive, but this spring they have been my little personal pride: lush green, fast growing and now sporting beautiful yellow blossoms. i'm so proud of them :)

wishing you a wonderful weekend.

  2. The smaller ones we call Hens and Chickens, I remember my mother growing them. I believe they don't like...to be too wet! Yours look very healthy and beautiful, Trinsch.
