Segmented succulent
Anyone recognise this little succulent? I’ve had it for a few years now and love its segmented stem. Its quite unusual as I haven’t seen many of them around.

My stone plant has just flowered and I wanted to share some pics of it. I always find it amazing that these hardy plants have such beautiful, delicate flowers.

What succulent is this?

How does her garden grow?

Amazing flower
I just wanted to share some photographs of this amazing, lily flower which grew out of a very ordinary succulent in a corner of my garden.
Succulent mystery, part two
A couple of months back, Sonya posted a photograph of a succulent with an interesting flower. I have a succulent with a similar leaf structure to Sonya’s and with an equally interesting, but different flower. Any suggestions as to what it is?
