A collection of living sculptures
I ’m Ebony , and I ’m from southwestern Louisiana . I ’ve been growingsucculentsfor nearly six years , and it ’s been such a great hobby for me . I ’m a wife , mama , and druggist , andcaring for my succulentshas given me an outlet to relieve stress and give care for myself . Here are some of my favorite pic of my plants .
As if the leave-taking were n’t perfect enough , a single orange bloom possibility frame this littleEcheveria‘Lola ’ over the top .
Succulent leaves are often compared to flowers , but usually they are n’t as colorful . Echeveria‘Red Velvet ’ give blooms a run for their money with bright red patterns on the leave .
This very healthyAloeselection has thick green parting light mottle with yellow diversification .
Echeveriachihuahuaensis , as the name suggests , is native to Mexico . The silvery coloration on the leave , call “ farina , ” germinate to protect the works from the intense desert Lord’s Day . We gardeners get to enjoy just how beautiful it is .
The accurate pattern on the leafage changes with the seasons , butGraptopetalumparaguayense(aka spook plant ) is always an fantastically beautiful flora . It is leisurely to develop as well .
Ebony grow a fewcactialong with the other succulents . While most succulents adjust to dry climates by storing water in their thickened leaves , cacti skip the foliage altogether and store leave-taking in their inspissate stems .
The leaves on thisEcheveria‘Blue Surprise Variegated ’ are so beautiful and delicately model that it almost look like they were painted with watercolors . The normal profane - green color of ‘ Blue Surprise ’ is unify with easy peachy - yellows in this variegated interlingual rendition .
An aloe forms a magnificent living sculpture .
This stunning succulent , ×Graptosedum‘Francesco Baldi ’ , is a intercrossed betweenGraptopetalumparaguayenseandSedumpachyphyllum — and is the resolution ever sensational , with leaves blushing a glorious shade of pink .
