Californians love their succulents.
Drought-tolerant, these
tough little plants have found their way into my heart.
What’s not to love? They are forgiving when you forget to
water them, can handle our mild winters and soak up the fierce summer heat.
They
also are fast growers and friendly – plant them close together and they thrive.
Mix species and they love it.
Planting them has become a new art form.
It’s hard to resist
picking up a new pot and packing it full of new (to me) chubby-leafed
varieties. Their names draw me in: hens-and-chicks, jade plant, ivory tower,
black rose and topsy turvy.
My patio is filling up with quite a flock of these guys.
