Cold, chilly, breezy
Old windows in winter
The plants cling on
To cold life
Succulents seem impervious
To the chill factor
Unlike us humans
Who shiver
And wither
Old windows in winter

Oak tree in our kitchen..
He sneaked in an acorn into one of my indoor plant pots, and now its growing into a tiny oak tree. Leaves growing despite the winter frosts.
My other plants are thriving, mainly Christmas cactus. A few other succulents.
On the other hand succulents are being ripped out of their natural habitats because they have become fashionable. The environment they are from are being trashed by greedy humans.
So I don’t buy them, I propagate them from cuttings. And the oak? I hope I can find it a good home so it grows into a huge old tree in time.
Succulents
I love house leeks, a type of succulent that makes a rosette of leaves. They are often found growing on walls and sometimes even roofs. They are called succulents because their leaves are swollen with moisture, a bit like a cactus…. Some have weblike coverings, as if a spider had spun a web across the top of them. These plants look good on old fashioned rockeries. Stones and rocks with succulents peeping through the gaps.
This photo has been manipulated to duplicate the pattern. I like doing this and seeing what comes out of it….
