Winter Colour

Hi everyone.  I've got a confession to make - I'm not a winter person at all!  I hate being cooped up inside, but at the same time it's so cold and wet outside it's impossible to do much out in the garden at the moment.


Fortunately for us, succulents dont do much during the cold weather, and just mark time until the warmer weather arrives in spring BUT there is one thing that I love about alot of them in the colder months, and that is the colour change.  It doesnt happen in all of them but the ones that do change in colour are spectacular.  Here is a photo of Echeveria Blue Curls in summer followed by a photo of it now in winter - beautiful colour isnt it? Of course it has grown a fair bit and there are alot more heads, all of which will be cut off in late winter to form many more beautiful plants I hope. This is a truly beautiful plant and highly recommended.
