Succulents in the neighborhood 06-05-20

1. With the promise of continuing drought many people are redoing their yards to make them more drought resistant.  And in m this area that requently means planting succulents.   Some designs are more successful than others, but many of the plants are quite attractive.   Here are a few that are in prime season right now.

Looking straight down on this lovely rosette which is about 14" diameter.

This is a side view of the rosette, about a foot tall. 

A flowering stalk, about 30 inches tall and shaped like a perfect Christmas tree. 

Close up of the flowers on the stalk.

This is the base of the flowering stalk. 

In the sun the red is very vivid. 

This is a view from the top of the plant. 

And here it is from the side.  There is the remains of a flower stalk - the straight beige sticking up in the middle of the image.
