Succulent Flowers

Remember that wonderful succulent plant that I showed you last August? Well, it started flowering a couple of weeks ago. The only thing I like better than succulent plants are their flowers! Check these out:

Right? What could be better? Feel free to click on any of the photos, to enlarge them.

Check out more flowery photography, at Today's Flowers. And check out more macro photography at Macro Monday, hosted by Lisa. Have a great week, everyone!

Johnny Nutcase said...: beautiful!!! I would always get so excited when my cactus had tiny blooms (sadly, there are only little pieces of it left now, someone overwatered it when we were out of town). But! i recently acquired one like you have (dunno what it's called!?)...i hope mine blooms too.

Short disclaimer:

Now that I've had this little blog for a while, it's come to my attention that there's a concept of SOOC - Straight Out Of the Camera. I just wanted to let y'all know that every one of my photos fits that category - I don't photoshop or otherwise play with the photos I take, with the exception of an occasional crop.

Oh, and if I already have you on the line: All photos on this blog were taken by me unless stated otherwise, and are my creative property. I'm a big believer in sharing - just ask my kids - and you're welcome to share them, as long as you link back here when you do!

Have a great day all,

Toby
