Caring for My Succulents


Succulent care  really is an art. There’s always something new to see and learn. I spent most of the afternoon cleaning and pruning my ever evolving collection.  Here are a few of them. The plant on the bottom left, Cyanotis, commonly known as Kittens, or Cats ears, is originally from my parents garden in Fountain Valley. They gave it to me in 1988 when they moved to Seal Beach.

A Colorful Orchid


Today, I photographed one of my Orchids.  The flower doesn’t look real to me, so I photographed the entire plant to prove that it is. The beautiful color is one of the reasons I love orchids, and have several. Go to About Orchids.com,  if you would like to learn more about orchids and see some of the many varieties available.
