SUCCULENT SIGHTS

 One of my favourite succulents is Aeonium "Kiwi" potted up here in a vintage 1950's clay pot and sitting on an old antique folding chair. Lots of morning light in this location encourages the nice yellow and pink coloration. I appreciate its compact growth habit since it does have to spend the coldest months in the greenhouse.

This big boy (about 8" across) is the echevaria (pronounced ek-eh-vair-ee-ah) "Morning Light" growing in a planter with alyssum and a clematis. It too will get transplanted in the fall and moved into the greenhouse but it's fun to stick them in unexpected places for the growing season.
