We're Looking For Succulent Succulents!


I saw this on my recent trip to the Asolo Italy. It's a succulent succulent that's trying to look like a flower!

We're looking for nice looking and desirable plants of the fleshy sedum or cacti genre! Got it?

This is a photo in my library that I took for a treasure hunt for @ifc at year. Cacti in bloom!

Oh awesome! I have a few here around the house. Maybe with a bit of luck I can cobble together a post to spread the word :)

That would be sooooooo appreciated. Entries are a little low on this one!

This Succulent Plant is part of the Echeveria Elegans family i love the way this one grows they look like little heads of lettuce growing on a little Bonsai tree this one belongs to my sister she just loves her succulent plants and does have quite a few of them around the house.

Entry No - 1.

I don't know if this is the right plant but I'll give it a try.
If I'm wrong just ignore it.

I’m no expert but it looks right to me!

Its a type of succulent called "hens and chicks"

Yay, @kus-knee coming up with another original and fun contest :) I love this theme, even though it is a tough one. Here is my entry. A succulent succulent from the Maltese island of Comino :)

Thanks for joining in!

I made this for a school project before, recycling the plastic bottle. The second one was a bit special, I thought I might as well show it. Thank you for this contest @kus-knee, this is fun.

Great. I love the second shot as it looks like art!

Thank you @kus-knee! Glad you like it!

This Aloe Vera Succulent Plant lives amongst maybe another 20 or so other succulent plants in my moms backyard and front yard but this is one is my favorite one i love it's fine shapes and color i call it the tiger plant and we all know they are very useful for medical reasons they are great and handy if you get burned just grab a leaf break it open and smear that juice from the inner leaf over the burn and same if you get itchy over some allergic reaction it heals a lot quicker and relieves the pain believe me i have done it and it works so they are not only pretty but a very useful succulent plant and there are over 500 species of Aloe Vera Succulents around.

Hi @kus-knee.
This would make a great entry for your "Reaping What You Did Not Sow" but I've decided to post for your succulent contest, anyway.
It's equally exciting! ;)

Great to have you join us!

Here is my entry:

Couldn't decide what to go so I got google help. One thing weird came out (the ice cream. well maybe not for some people) and then the lotus fruit with the pagoda.

So, I'm going with this one which I think I have not shared in other posts because I cannot find it.

The other posts where this was taken are here:

Interesting. Thanks!

You're welcome. I just found how interesting Google Photos "look" at my photos.:-)

Hi @kus-knee

Here is my entry, which is rather a thorny issue!! I don't think many animals will try to eat this one in nature!!

Dangerously succulent!

The Succulent Succulents


Here is the entry to The Succulent Succulents Contest by @kus-knee.

You know, I'm more about fashion and landscape photography. But happens days when I have nothing to do and some macro shots becomes a kind of interesting opportunity to change usual point of view to photography

And just the case a couple of weeks ago had such a possibility and very in time for a contest

Enjoy the closer views!

Very original!

HI, this my entry:

SUCULENTA1.JPG

Great submission!

On the first photo of a flowering succulent, I first saw one such last year. I did not know that there are types of succulents. which bloom.
The second photograph is a familiar, to my view, succulent, which I photographed on a neighboring lawn.

Excellent, I'm going to take pictures of the succulents to participate ...

I don't think I have ever made a photo of succulent and it is about time to go and hunt some.

Happy hunting!

Hello, @kus-knee!

I almost missed it, but no :) Here are my entries. The first succulent also tries to look like a flower, it even has a common name "stone rose"

The second one is the same but red, or probably it is a different species

Your shots are great and so many,many other great shots to choose from. It will be a hard pick this week.
