Pretty succulents are all alike; every ugly succulent is ugly in its own way. What have your succulents that hid in the shade to survive the summer turned into? Huahua has recently received pictures from quite a few gardening friends, complaining that their succulents have grown ugly beyond belief. Come along with Huahua and "admire" them!

Pachyveria 'Clavifolia'

Inside every Pachyveria 'Clavifolia' lives a little princess, so what's wrong with wearing a layer-cake skirt!

Echeveria 'Cante'

The big windmill goes creak-creak-creak as it turns~ Echeveria 'Cante', if you want to go to the amusement park just say so, no need to sprawl out into a windmill to hint at it for me!

Echeveria 'Tippy'

I don't want to be next to big brother, I want to split up the family! Hmph, I don't like being squeezed into the same pot with you either!

Firecracker Plant (Crassula capitella 'Campfire')

I heard a model contest is being held recently? With my tall, slender figure I'd definitely win the championship if I entered! Firecracker Plant, wake up! At best you could only enter an ugly contest!

Graptosedum 'Francesco Baldi'

Nothing can stop my longing for freedom! Hurry up and leave, save yourself from wasting rations at home!

Echeveria 'Afterglow'

Afterglow, what are you so shy about? Grown this ugly and afraid to show your face?

Fifty Bell Jade (Haworthia cooperi var. pilifera)

Did you take a trip to Africa? Tanned to this miserable state, and I told you to put on sunscreen but you didn't!

Sedum dasyphyllum

Mom, let's eat this plate of bean sprouts! Son, this is Mom's succulent...

Haworthia cooperi

I want to bloom the most beautiful fireworks of my succulent life! Give me a break, you've already grown into firewood, and still fireworks!

Rabbit's Ear (Kalanchoe tomentosa)

Once I grow a little bigger, I'll go to the heavenly palace to find my sister Chang'e! Little Moon Rabbit, have you been watching too many TV dramas?

Sempervivum 'Jade'

Do you think you're Nezha, with three heads and six arms, invulnerable to sword and spear?

Graptopetalum 'Bella'

Don't think that just because you bow and scrape and put on this pitiful look, I'll take you in!

Mother of Thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontiana)

Is the pot too small to hold a great Buddha like you! Look at you wanting to fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun!

Sempervivum tectorum (Hens and Chicks)

You're the noble Sempervivum tectorum, so how come you've put on earrings and started pretending to be a spider plant!
