Hello friends, it's me again. Lately Sydney has been cold and rainy, probably what they call a late cold snap in spring. Fortunately, the succulents are all competing to bloom, bringing a touch of brightness to winter! It's already September now, and in this season Australia has warm spring days and flowers blooming, everything reviving, and just thinking about it makes it feel bright...

Because most of the photos were taken on recent rainy days, they always seem to carry a faint melancholy, which instead makes the succulents look all the more ethereal. Let's start with a basket of fresh, delicate blooms!

I'd rate its flowers as the most artistic succulent flowers of the year, half-hidden, like scattered stars

Also bearing romantic clusters like a sky full of stars is the Sedum pachyphyllum 'Chubby Fingers'; I've already cut away half the flowers and it's still blooming all over the pot, I really never expected this variety could grow into a trailing, pot-filling form.

Up close they shine like starlight

Echeveria 'Red Pink Beauty' puts out unremarkable yellow flowers

while the plant itself shows vivid blood-red spots

Echeveria 'Monroe' has turned into a big fairy peach, so ethereal

A succulent a friend gave me, I've been keeping it as an Echeveria 'Ice Plum', it has pupped many heads, only it somehow feels so big

yet the flowers it puts out are a peach-red that is the exact opposite of the plant itself, a strong contrast with a special charm

Echeveria 'Little Red Coat' was hard to find, so I got an Echeveria 'Little Blue Coat' and kept it for over a year, and it put out the most vivid little fireball of the year

The orange-toned flowers of Echeveria 'Benbadis'

This huge Echeveria 'Frosty Mulan' (or maybe it's a Monroe again) bloomed especially vigorously, and this is only half of what was left after I cut it

The flower shape is elegant

Echeveria 'Blue Apple' blooming

The big silly Opalina never colours up, and even a single blooming stalk is half a metre long...

This is probably Echeveria 'Green', not much colour but quite a bit bigger, with a very short flower stalk

The fairy-like Sedum 'Autumn Beauty', not yet fully open and already too late to share with everyone

The shape of Echeveria 'Snow Claw' has gone all loose since it bloomed too, because it put all its effort into producing a thick, flattened, almost fasciated flower stalk, a pity the photo isn't clear

Echeveria 'Pink Claw' blooming

Echeveria 'Green Apple' puts out cute orange flowers that complement its orange edges

The flowers of Echeveria 'Black Claw' are very handsome, cute like rows of little lanterns

The little jewel-like, cute Sedum 'Autumn Beauty' is about to bloom too

Graptopetalum paraguayense, the most ordinary succulent of all, yet it has pure white flowers, so fresh and lovely

The little sweetheart Echeveria 'Debbie' is about to bloom

The faded Echeveria 'Flower Moon Night' stretches out strings of yellow flower stalks

Echeveria 'Mexican Snowball', pink-green paired with water-red, especially petite and vivid

Echeveria 'Silver Dance', I especially love these little purple flowers, can't wait for it to open for a sneak preview

I didn't expect the flowers of Echeveria 'Vanilla' to be so light and subtle, truly a vanilla beauty

The orange-bright Graptosedum 'Maruba Matsu' has white flowers, nature always gives the most unexpected yet most harmonious arrangements

The flowers of Echeveria 'Dongyun' are not delicate but full of heroic spirit

This pair of little braided flowers is inexplicably comical, yet inexplicably refined

Unknown name, but very beautiful all the same

This Echeveria 'Dongyun' has flowers everywhere, with seven or eight flower stalks

Small and exquisite

Echeveria 'Pink Blue Bird' has the same pink-toned flowers

Echeveria 'Heaven's Heart', with heart-shaped leaves and speckled flowers

Echeveria 'Swift's Seat', large yellow flowers, it seems green succulents paired with yellow is the most common

A stroke of heart-stirring bright yellow

Pachyphytum 'Lamp Beauty', the succulent itself isn't coloured and is unremarkable, yet it has the year's most unique flowers

Take a closer look, don't they look like the hairpins on noble ladies' heads, so unique

Haworthia cooperi, I can hardly tell the names, the flowers are surprisingly uniform, Haworthia cooperi blooming one

Haworthia cooperi about to bloom two

Haworthia cooperi blooming three

Aeonium blooms and then the plant dies

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana probably counts as a succulent flower too

The mixed pot is blooming too

Next up, some beautiful succulents that haven't bloomed yet, the first pot, the rainbow aloe, has grown big

Echeveria 'White Rose', when I bought it I never imagined it would be so stunning after 2 months

It's only early spring, and the Aeoniums are already starting to close up

Echeveria 'Crispy Duck' is full of life

Echeveria 'Red Curled Leaf' is colouring up too

Echeveria 'Red Radiance Hall', great colour, right

Cotyledon 'Fukang' now has a jelly colour, so tempting

What is this, it turns especially red after rain

Let's end with my beautiful flower stalks in a vase!
