A Real Lifesaver

 My Lifesaver plant has bloomed all winter! It is a succulent, and named because the blooms look like Lifesavers candy.




It’s important to keep some candy in your pocket at all times.

It could be a lifesaver.

I have never seen a plant like this one, so thank you for highlighting it in this post, Ginny. The flowers do look like lifesavers, but not good enough to enjoy.

Oh my goodness, that is the most unusual plant. And the scary tree in your last post is, well, scary. It's so unusual looking.

Every time I see that plant, I am in awe. It is one of the most interesting and unusual succulents I've seen. Isn't that something that it has bloomed all winter. I would have thought it would come alive in spring and summer. Thanks for sharing this amazing plant, Ginny. Your Header photo really shows all the detail in it.

That's an extraordinary plant. It looks almost like it should be in a prehistoric jungle.

The Weird And the Wonderful

 These photos are just from us driving around the neighborhood. We saw both lovely and also weird things. This moose head was looking at us ...
