You’ll know I’m rather partial to a succulent or two, and so having been relatively ‘starved’ of ogling other people’s succulents when I saw these perched on the wall overlooking the main lawn at Standen, it didn’t take me long to be standing in front of them.
And I wasn’t disappointed.
I mean, who could be disappointed with the dusky grey pink variety above or the pink, orange and yellow flowers of the one below.
And that large rosette. Pure heaven. Though my succulents tend to do this, and migrate to the edge of the pot. I’m glad that that is usual behaviour, however frustrating that may be.
But I think the one that stole the show was this pretty, pale pink flower. How delicate, and how exquisite. And even better it let my iPhone capture its detail - always a winner for me.
That was quite an unexpected succulent fix, but one that I didn’t realise I would enjoy quite as much as I did.
