What what what is going on here... Do you really need to go barefoot and climb onto the balcony just to take a photo???

Friends, don't laugh! This is my own mother, 67 years young, and she's going all out just to photograph the succulents by the edge of the balcony

Mom is checking the quality! She doesn't seem quite satisfied yet. Please be careful and stay safe!

The standing shot ~ so much easier this way, happy

The sitting shot ~ Mom, how are your photography skills?

If you dare say even half a "no," these bear paws won't let you off the hook!

The clearing-the-way shot ~ how about a close-up of this pot of Aeonium? Why does Mom love photographing succulents so much?? Friends, please keep reading...

So that's why... Words of praise are always welcome

And so, after inviting her old classmate over to admire the succulents, it was time for another photo session...

The posed shot ~ everyone learning together

The squatting shot ~ the angle is very important

Aeonium 'Zwartkop' (European Purple Aeonium)

The teamwork shot ~ you hold it, I'll shoot it! Old classmates just have that unspoken chemistry

Haworthia cooperi (Jade Dew)

Mom doesn't just take photos, she also helps me care for the succulents!

Sunny day

Rainy day

This "rou" is not that "rou," but it's still dear to my heart! Hehe, food is the staff of life. The twice-cooked pork Mom made has perfect color, aroma and taste. To use a Chongqing dialect phrase ~ absolutely awesome!!!

As the saying goes, "A family with an elder is like having a treasure." I deeply understand this now, friends. Here's another set of succulents photographed by Mom~

Baby Toes ~ plump and chubby

Echeveria 'Snow Angel' ~ so angels are pink! It overturns my worldview

Orca ~ a crested dragon head! A double dragon head, and I'll say the important thing just once, saying it three times is just a routine!

Ice Jade ~ like ice, like jade! Like jade, like ice! Haha, it doesn't seem to matter if I've got it backwards here

Echeveria derenbergii (Silent Night) ~ Mom says it looks like a little steamed bun, but did you know it's known as a sure-die-in-summer?

Echeveria 'Suyon' ~ I bought it because of the name, love it!

White Chrysanthemum ~ forgive me for being short on cash, I could only buy three small single heads, but the succulents understand me, they're all splitting into multiple heads!

Pansy ~ the color is a bit plain, but born in Chongqing, the big city in the free-shipping zone, Mom did her best

Aeonium 'Halloween' ~ full of layered depth!

Cat's Eye ~ who says it isn't enchanting, how could longing run so deep!

Snow Claw ~ Mom loves the flower stalks! Absolutely must not cut them off?

Fifty Bell Jade (Conophytum) ~ like ice, like soft beautiful jade!

Aeonium 'Zwartkop' (Black Aeonium) ~ spring rain patters down, like ox hair, like flower needles, like the soft strands of Spring Maiden's hair...

Echeveria chihuahuensis (Chihuahua) ~ I have zero resistance to these little red hooks!

Peach Egg (Graptopetalum amethystinum) ~ a must-have for succulent growers! Round and rosy little eggs, don't they charm you

Aeonium 'Ink' (Black Aeonium) ~ Mom often says the Aeonium is too big, heavy and space-hogging, not suitable for balcony growing... But! When a good friend came over to play and wanted to buy it, Mom immediately stood up ~ this one's not for sale! Such a contrary mom

Successfully converting Mom into a fan of my succulents gives me such a sense of accomplishment. It's not just gaining one more fan, because succulents teach us to cherish life; because succulents enrich Mom's senior years; because succulents make family bonds so harmonious... Wishing Mom good health, happiness and joy every day!

On the arrival of Mother's Day ~ wishing Mom and all your moms a happy holiday!
