Back from holiday travel and am happy to report the succulents didn't miss me at all. 🌱

A dramatic early afternoon sky above Hwy 101 on the Oregon coast near North Bend. In the distance is a beautiful cantilever bridge that spans a large estuary.

A young "Star flower" plant (Orbea variegata) with its first bloom. It is a carrion flower, but am happy to report the smell is pretty mild. 🌱

Growing succulents under trees can be tricky, but not for these two. A Foxtail Agave and Saucer Aeonium looking good in the rain this morning. 🌱

A few shots from Tuesday about 24 hours before a big storm arrived. So many colors in less than 10 minutes.

This is a Copiapoa cinerea that was grafted onto a cactus rootstock. It's nearly 3" in diameter but likely took only 3 or 4 years to reach this size. If grown on their own roots, it might take around 10 years (and be 5x the price) 🌵

This is a "Medusa's head" cactus my wife learned about while listening to a talk by a local seller. It's been grafted onto a cactus root stock for faster growth. Astrophytum caput-meducae 'variegata'🌵

I love this red maple tree (October Glory) I planted a few years ago. It takes a bit longer here in the Bay Area to turn red than in colder climates, but soon it will be a shock of red. 🍁

A few months ago, I was given this free cutting of a Cereus peruvianis 'Monstrose' cactus. It took a long time to fully root, but the new growth on top started long before then. 🌱

The mother plant. She's cresting later in life.

This is a crested Echeveria that started as a small branch growing on my large Echeveria hybrid. After repotting, it's taken less than a year for the stem to change into this cool fan shape. 🌱

A pair of lithops in full bloom. They are notoriously difficult to grow, so having them flower is very exciting. 👍😎🌱

Not only is this resilient Echeveria "Sahara" bouncing back from its first full-sun summer in the garden, it's having pups. 🌱
