Graptoveria 'Lovely Rose' looking suitably lovely 🙂

My Frizzle Zizzle (Albuca spiralis) has woken up from its summer sleep, after putting it outside in the rain a couple of days ago. I removed its dead leaves and flower stalks.

Aeonium 'Pink Witch' with a presumably reverted rosette on the same stalk. I rather like it like that but the reversion is going to be dominant. I’ll chop and prop it in the autumn.

The hot, sunny weather has been bringing out the colours. I think this is a very plump version of Graptoveria 'Debbi' but can’t be sure. I rescued it about 30 years ago from the abandoned greenhouse of my great aunt after she died.

Meet the new resident in my garden, a hippo and his bird buddy sculpture made by a scrap metal sculptor friend. 😁

🌱 Sedum moranense is a carpet of little white stars at the moment 😁

Some favourites from my echeveria hybrids sown a year ago. They’re 2 to 3 cm wide now. I hope they don’t change much in maturing. The bumblebees chose the hybrids. #succulents #EcheveriaHybrids #PlantMom #PlantSky

They appreciated last night’s rain. Grown from my own seeds. Echeveria and cotyledon hybrids selected by bumblebees 🙂

🌱 My Sedum furfuraceum, also known as Bonsai Sedum, has opened one flower today. This is a very slow growing plant and grew itself into this shape with no training. Pot by me.

My pink epiphyllum only has six flowers this year. It’s OK though because Euphorbia obesa is flowering to make up for it 😂

The sky has been milky with saharan sand dust brought by a southerly air flow. Seen mostly on cars or glass tables outdoors. There has been a light shower in the night that moved it around, and the second photo is when a couple of snails or slugs passed in the night.

A lewisia in a hole in my rockery wall. The snails ate the rest of the flowerbuds.

🌱 The echeveria flowers are delicate, especially the agavoides. Then there’s this cotyledon that’s somewhat bolder 😂

🌱 Graptosedum amicie, which didn’t suffer at all in my greenhouse when it went down to -6°C a couple of nights. I’ve just put it outside because it’s grey and rain is forecast. It might go frosty again soon though. It’s in-out-in-out season here in Brittany.

Acrobatic frog sculpture. I like giving clay, which is by nature heavy and inert, lightness and life. Modelled in stoneware clay.
