Anne’s got some work to do to make new ones!

Echeveria Garden

Jefferson St, Berkeley

Nice grouping! Nice rockwork.

An Agave in Berkeley

Agave americana on Channing Way in Berkeley. In the sidewalk strip? That’ll outgrow that so fast! Hopefully there aren’t any kids riding bikes near there.

Mixed Succulents

Wow that’s a lot of filtering going on in that photo of a mixed succulent terrarium with some sand design action too. In case you were wondering, I overused Snapseed in that there photo. Enjoy!

Here’s a slightly less filtered photo of a Sarracenia minor. But only slightly less filtered! Shock.

A nice window box of succulents on College Ave in Berkeley.

Sedum, Pelargonium and the popular Sempervivum tectorum greenii.

Succulent Wall Panels Class

Nadia sends along a photo of her beautiful succulent wall panel she made at our Cactus Jungle wall panel class this weekend.

Nice!

More classes coming up? Yes!

An Aloe Blooms in Berkeley

La Vereda Road, Berkeley

Aloe striata hybrid in full hummingbird-loving bloom.

Yellow Iceplant in Berkeley

This yellow Delosperma is on 4th Street in Berkeley.

OK, so it’s in front of the store. Which store you ask? How can you ask that?!? It’s Cactus Jungle!

If you follow me on the instagrams you might see this same picture, but filtered. Very filtered.

Succulent Garden, Berkeley

Grayson St, Berkeley

Manzanita

Arctostaphylos morroensis
Morro Manzanita

Native to California
Evergreen shrub

Sun: Full Sun
Water: Low, summer-drought
Size: 6t x 8w.

Endangered in its native range in Southern Cal., it grows well coastal gardens throughout the state. Lavender flowers with red berries.

Voodoo

Aeonium “Voodoo” is a big-head version of the classic “Schwartzkopf” or Black Rose Aeonium. Big head indeed. These are it’s winter colors. Nice!

Silk Floss Tree

Ceiba speciosa

Derby St, Berkeley

These have amazing flowers 💐 and giant trunks and amazing thick spines. Nice! And they grow them in Berkeley right along the streets.

They are in the former Bombax family, with other succulent bottle trees, which is now the Bombax subfamily (Bombacoideae) of the mallow family, Malvaceae. Wow! That means it’s a giant tree that is closely related to these delicate and gorgeous California Native perennials. Sweet.
