Absolutely stunning, MASSIVE aeonium (or could it be a semponium?) found between Gotanda and Fudōmae

If you know someone who is one of those houseplant addicts, especially if they love succulents, this might be a great little gift idea. A drawing of Lithops plants, also known as stone plants. Affordable original art!

This is the developing flower stalk of Prickles, an Echeveria 'Mexican Firecracker' (we think). Looking rather like a cactus here!

1. Coffee (the first I’ve had in a couple of months) & cake for breakfast. Yum.
2. Received a sweet gift of a succulent dish garden — my very first in a lifetime of gardening.
3. Found a hidden grove of blooming “Ingrid Bergman” roses growing at least 15 feet straight up to find sunlight. Amazing what a bit of shrub trimming accomplished, and also amazing how persistent roses can be.

My Semponium “Diamond” already has an inflorescence

(Aeoniums and sempervivums are both monocarpic so I assume semponiums are too)

My Lophophora williamsii (烏羽玉) flowered!

One of the packages I exported in October 2024 got incorrectly stopped at customs. I assumed it had been destroyed by now, but this week it arrived back to me. Amazingly, although most of the plants inside were dried to a crisp, a few were still alive! They'd grown these weird ghostly stems, looking for a light source in the dark.
