Succulents

The succulents are certainly thriving from the recent rains. They are flowering profusely and the white statue and terracotta pot are being swamped by the foliage.

Pictured from left to right are:
The Jade Plant (Crassula ovata ) – green with yellow and red margins.
Lavender Scallops (Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi) – green/pink leaves and salmon bell shaped flowers.
Paddle Plant (Cotyledon Macrantha) – I love the big round leaves and magenta margins. The orange/red flowers are a welcome splash of colour in winter.
Pinwheel (Aeonium Haworthii) - Bush with thin woody stems ending in light green triangular leaves forming a rosette.
Lace Aloe, Torch Plant (Aloe Aristata) - Rosette forming triangular succulent leaves covered with white markings.
Pig's Ear (Cotyledon Orbiculata) - leaves have a chalky covering.
Tree Aeonium (Aeonium Arboreum) – green with red edge.
