Last weekend I finally had time to tidy up the balcony,

I looked at my succulents and my heart went cold,

Some are rotten, some are etiolated,

Sucked dry of all their vitality by summer, that little minx

Losing color is nothing,

Etiolation is nothing,

Wait until you see the succulents below, they are truly pitiful!

First, take a look at mine

Even though I keep telling you to shade them, shade them,

I myself courted disaster and gave them no shade

And the golden sedum turned out like this

Steamed, cooked, done for

And the leaf cuttings I worked so hard to get going

The white bear paws that started to rot, not from sunburn, they just wanted to die

They used to look so beautiful, my heart hurts

Sun-scorched Sedum hispanicum

Echelia elegans so etiolated that even a dog wouldn't recognize it

Who would know it used to look like this

And its fellow sufferer, Echeveria 'White Moon'

Its beauty is gone

Shriveled string of pearls

Based on my assessment, Sedum 'Little Star' still needs some moderation when grown outdoors in summer; growing it fully exposed might end up like this

Unidentified succulent

There are also succulents like these online

Sunburned ones

Sun-dried and shriveled ones

Sun-melted ones

Ones dropping leaves like crazy

Even the agave got badly scorched

None of these count as truly pitiful,

The ones below are

Sempervivum, which only looks its most beautiful when melting

And the most ethereal of all, the pink-blue bird

Even the tough Graptopetalum paraguayense

Came home from a business trip to just one pot of remains for people to view

Completely dead, what??

Perfect succulent mummies

But the most pitiful ones are here

Total, wipeout, annihilated

After seeing all this, do you think your own succulents

Are pretty pitiful too?
