2018

I only want to let happiness sing the lead,

To place all beauty in the heart,

To gently tuck away some longings,

Beneath a poetic sky,

Growing old together with time.

Fully outdoor-grown

Lipstick is so tempting

Ebony

One of my favorite arrangements, the colors are stunning!

Crassula mesembryanthemoides colors up nicely too, but turns all green in summer.

Pink Confidante

A common favorite, Graptopetalum paraguayense, colors up year-round!

Blue Elf, Blue Apple, looks like Red Apple!

Red Curled Leaf

Green Claw isn't green, so pink and lovely

The little Graptoveria planted in the big pine-needle tree pot is the most vibrant of all the Graptoveria at home!

Graptosedum is great, colors up beautifully and lasts, and pups like crazy!

Splendens, looking forward to pups!

Just potted up Pink Beauty, one pink and one green!

Comic Tom, looking good!

Echeveria pulvinata, at its best the fuzzy hairs glow red, I really love it!

Sedum burrito

Bun-shaped Graptoveria 'Bainesii'

Echeveria pulidonis, it still has its beautiful days!

Pup-crazy Ice Berry, hoping it fills the pot!

Snow Claw, quite compact and neat, I like it!

Dancing Sunset

Sedum pachyphyllum

The first succulent at home, Graptopetalum paraguayense, now an old specimen!

Kalanchoe luciae and Echeveria 'White Phoenix' look amazing, both from Liu Guofeng's stock, great quality and easy to color up, I love them!

Without forcing, without burden,

Using fingertips to gently warm the years,

In the time that flows away like water,

Feeling warmth in the cold,

Learning to smile through hardship.

Isn't my pig-trough arrangement pretty? The Graptopetalum 'Purple Delight' cascade has achieved the effect I envisioned, I hope they trail even longer..., the wooden pig trough was made by my son and husband, and not just one, I'm very grateful to them both for the love they give me!

Overall still quite stunning!

The common Sedeveria 'Letizia' that every succulent lover has, Letizia pups like crazy, colors up fast and lasts!

Berry has long-lasting color and a relatively long blooming period, I like it!

Cupid

The fuzzy little White Bear, I really like it!

Cross Star Variegated

A neat and shapely little arrangement! Adzuki, Little Man Festival, David!

Aeonium series

2018

I only want to gently embrace,

Longing at some corner of fate,

To see, you walking from afar,

Meeting, in quiet serenity.

This little Aeonium 'Zwartkop' below was bought in July 2017, and not long after bringing it home, Doudou (the little toy poodle) bit off the little umbrella head of the black aeonium, I thought it would die, but unexpectedly two months later it sprouted several heads, so this time Doudou did a good deed, how could I bear to casually behead it!

A favorite, Aeonium 'Blushing Beauty', hoping for a tree form!

Aeonium 'Sunburst', one of the varieties I feel I grow quite well, I've never seen it bloom but it looks even better than a flower, the more I grow it the more I like it!

What a plump Cotyledon 'Ping Pong'!

Graptopetalum paraguayense pups like crazy, looking forward to its old, old (old specimen) look!

Sedum 'Red Stem', red enough!

Keeping the peace of a simple inner heart,

Planting flowers and grass in the heart,

Even though, no longer brightly colored,

Yet full of the taste of life.

Echeveria 'Guanghan Gong'

Dancing Sunset

Sedeveria 'Little Beauty'

The arrangement I made when I first fell into the succulent rabbit hole

Sedum 'Pink Vine', its beauty is quite good when colored up, I didn't like it much when I first bought it.

Sedum 'Baby Fingers'

Pachyphytum 'Chiseled Stone', I can't grow the kind of beauty the experts achieve!

Echeveria 'Chihuahua'

Silk Veil

Wax Peony

Fat Beauty, fat?

Sedeveria 'Letizia' fully colored

Like Poetry, isn't the name special?

Chocolate Line

Group photo

Cotyledon 'Damo', it was so ugly when I bought it (too ugly to even photograph), now it's shining!

The common Sedum rubrotinctum

Little buns

I love the fiery red feeling of Sedeveria 'Letizia', so I made a big pot of it!

Echeveria 'Crinoline' cristata, beautiful!

Haworthia, which I can never grow well no matter what, afraid of too much sun, so I'm learning to grow it in a covered environment.

Echeveria 'Cute Rose'

Lampranthus aureus

Succulents are everywhere, I like to place a few pots on the tea table too, Sedum 'Tree Ice'!

A jade plant of about ten years, the old saying "jade tree in the wind"!

2018

Flowers, still beautiful,

Rain, still falling,

No need for deep longing,

No need for words,

Quietly keeping a tree in bloom,

Smiling at, the charm of spring.

Thank you all for your attention!
