The succulent flowers in the back garden are in bloom again. Some have even started drying out and fading to pink (from orange).
The new year is here and I'm feeling quiet. I'm resting, reading, gardening and playing lots of spelltower. I also just did a huge driving trip up north totaling 4ooo kms. That's a of lot of music listening and singing time!
So 2012, year of the dragon. What do you have install for us all. Eh?
These flowers are fantastic. What succulent are they from (or what does it look like)?
ReplyDeleteIs spelltower as addictive as words with friends? I spend more time playing words with friends than I would like to admit publicly.
Aren't these flowers the best Belinda? I've looked and looked and can't find the name for the succulent they belong to. I grew it from a cutting from my ex-neighbour's plant. The plant has medium-size white/silvery/grey leaves. The plant itself grows long stems that twist and curl so that the plant grows quite large, even from a pot. And then in summer you get long stems pushing out these orange flowers.
ReplyDeleteSpelltower is as additive as words with friends. But so much fun. I love the rush.
PS. Belinda - here's a pic of the leaves I took a while ago:

It might help you find the plant.
these are stunning! love the faded colours in the stems and the pinky orange shapes.
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment :) doing ok.
hope you are enjoying the year so far xx
Belinda - my thoughts are truly with you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteI missed seeing your periodic pictures of cactus flowers for a long time. Now here they are again, more beautiful than ever.
ReplyDeleteJust saw the pic of the leaves. I have this!! They never flower.
ReplyDeleteNot enough sunlight perhaps.
Wow, I wonder why that is Priya? Mine are in a north facing backyard so they get full sunlight all year round. Maybe if you moved yours...?
Deletesuch pretty shapes and colours; I've never seen these before :-)
