Echeveria

This has been in flower for over two months although I have to confess that it’s been cosseted in the #greenhouse 😂 #echeveria #macro #succulent 💛❤️💚

Lovely shot....💛💛💗💛💛

Great shot! 💛

Captured that perfect. Pretty colors. I love Mother Nature 😊💕

I do love this app!!! I couldn’t remember what this #succulent was called but a quick search for #succulentflowers and hey presto, result!!! I can’t identify the actual #echevaria but I’m happy 😍 #succulentsunday #greenhouse 💚💖💚

Oh I like that. Stupid question alert- remind me again what a succulent is 🤔

Not stupid at all! Succulents are plants that store water in their leaves. They’re very easy to grow and care for so I think you should get one or two. 👍 @charlotte 😘

Another stupid question - are they all house plants?

They can stay outside in the summer but they need winter protection either in a greenhouse or indoors. There’s such a huge range and lots of them are beautiful and unusual. Have a look at #succulents for examples 😘 @charlotte

This one is so pretty Barbara. Mine are just green! 😭 I should get more but not really anywhere to put them. 💕

Very pretty Barbara 😀

I’ve neglected mine in the past, Linda, but this summer I’ve watered and fed them regularly and this is the result. Only one flower on one plant, but it’s a start! @rhododendronmad 😍

It is, Angela, and I was delighted to see the flower spike appearing. The first one ever!!! @italydiva 😍

Maybe next year you'll get loads of flowers! 🤞🤞🤞
