Kalanchoe Tarantula



I bought this plant without the flower. I was surprised to see these red flowers. The flowers last for over a month. Easy to propagate. I already took a cutting and it rooted fast. I always propagate another plant for duplicate just in case.

 


In spite of the 100+ degree heat we are having in So Cal. this cactus  continues to bloom day after day. They only last a day but I'll take it.

Succulents do well planted in the ground. They seek their own moisture and less chance of being over watered. I have more luck with them planted in ground and they survive the heat and the frost better too.

It is scorching hot in our neck of the woods. Today we have a high of 115 degrees. Ouch! I put out my beach umbrella to provide shade to some of my rare succulents. Hope the heat does not burn the rest of them. We are supposed to get 10 degrees cooler temp by tomorrow.

     Echeveria Mauna Loa

It is one of my favorite echeveria. So big and yet so dainty looking. It is starting to show the pink color, a blushing beauty.

 Easter Cactus

It bloomed a little late but it is worth the wait. I have to take this picture before the flowers starts to drop.

I just started collecting Aloes. They are easy to grow and propagate. Nice bloom too.
