"Life is not just about the drudgery before your eyes, but also poetry and distant places"! Every time I see this passage, I always have an urge to curse, then I think about it, and let it go!

Echeveria 'Hongzhilian' (small old stem)

The person who wrote those words, the drudgery he speaks of is his drudgery, but as for me, after all these years, I have never known what drudgery even is?

Echeveria 'Raindrops'

A real man, born between heaven and earth, if he cannot stand tall and hold up the sky, he should at least hold fast to his original heart, and guard this pure land deep within his soul. Not seeking to be blameless in the eyes of others, but at least, he should be blameless in his own eyes!

Echeveria 'Pink Champagne'

Knowing what can be done and what cannot be done, this bottom line of not betraying great principles must never be crossed, and this has always been, in my mind, what a mature man should be like!

Echeveria 'Ice Jade'

I feel that Poison's article this time has gone a bit off the beaten path...

Echeveria 'Laurentii'

"There is no such thing as tranquil times, it is just that someone is carrying the weight for us"! Writing up to here, the figure of a young girl from Changsha, Hunan, "Mutong Qianxue", appeared before me again. "Uncle Poison, are you this good to everyone? Could it be..." The young girl is a clever one, she did not say the rest, and with a little thought, one could probably guess most of it...

Echeveria 'Orange Monroe'

Why so many ulterior motives? Not all giving has to expect something in return! I am a person without much scheming, I just want to live simply and do things simply. For the people I like, I would even take off my pants for them to wear; for the people I do not like, just one glance makes me feel annoyed! I like succulents, and in my heart I just think about raising them to be more and more beautiful, and seeing them with my own eyes, joy in my heart!

Drifting across the horizon, is the cloud from my hometown that I have always deeply loved...

In these years of growing succulents, I have slowly grown from a novice into what many succulent-growing friends across the country call a great master. Many friends who come to Yunnan for travel will also, in their spare time, take the opportunity to come up to my rooftop to see the succulents I grow;

Pachyveria 'Clavifolia'

If time permits, I always think about treating friends who have come from afar to a meal, or taking fellow succulent lovers to places in Kunming with beautiful succulents, to walk around and take a look. If time does not permit, I will also tell fellow succulent lovers where in Kunming there are more succulents, and where the succulents are very beautiful;

Believe in beauty, discover beauty, create beauty, share beauty, meet beauty!

All along, this is how I have thought and how I have acted. Because I like growing succulents, I have the chance to meet fellow succulent lovers from all over the country (and some other countries in the world), friends who also like growing succulents, and it really is a very happy thing!

Echeveria 'Mexican Snowball'

Why are there always tears in my eyes, because I love this land deeply!

I have said a bit too much, for fear that you will find it annoying, so let us just look at the succulents I grow. The photos are almost all taken recently, with timestamps. Actually, to be honest, the succulents I grow look about the same in all four seasons, only in autumn they are especially outstanding;

Echeveria 'Xuhе'

When I posted articles before, some friends once left comments like this: the succulents my daughter grows are more beautiful than the ones I grow. I admit this, after all, my daughter is my teacher in growing succulents. In addition, one point needs to be added: the parapet is when we build houses in rural Yunnan, when building to the last floor, generally on the rooftop, an additional wall about 90cm high and 12cm, or 24cm thick, is built. This is to prevent children from playing on the rooftop when protecting the little ones, to prevent the danger of falling from height, and such a wall is commonly called: parapet

Othonna capensis (night shot)

Life is a journey of trekking, interwoven with love and hate, mixed with bitterness and joy. With you, there is love, there is warmth, there is strength! And thus I am able to have even more power to face the storms and rains of life, those setbacks!

On the days when you are not by my side, I will also carefully savor and recall all that I have had, all of it, and warmth will naturally surge in my heart!

Succulent arrangement

For what reason do I like succulents; why do I grow succulents, I think this is the best reason I can find!

Keep a joyful heart,

Do joyful things,

Love joyful people
