I see we’re growing some very colorful Echeveria Hybrids this time of year.
While it’s true they are very colorful, they’re not really this colorful. There may have been some filtering going on with these photos too.
But so nice…
Opuntia linguiformis
Just off San Pablo Ave in Berkeley
4th Street, Berkeley
Aloe nobilis blooms and a Nopalea cochenilifera too!
This is actually in our front bed at the store. Nice!
I say, how about a terrarium? And a caveman or monkey man from the Ascent of Man series would be a fantastic, and ironic, finishing touch.

Cotyledon orbiculata in full bloom. Now that’s a nicely shaped shrubby and chalky succulent, just like your mother used to make.
And in case you don’t also follow me on instagram, here’s the instagrammed and filtered version that appeared there.
Which do you like better?
Kniphofia on Cedar St., Berkeley
Telegraph Ave., Berkeley
An Agave americana that will get too big for its location soon enough, plus some bonus scented geranium.
Nice big bloom stalk!
Agave flowers up close and personal
Here is our proposal for succulent baskets. Who is the proposal for? It’s a secret. But still, don’t you think we should get it? Of course you do. And we thank you for your support.
7th Street, Berkeley
In this clever photo I chose to hide the Agave behind a fence. I could have walked a few feet and taken the picture without the fence in the way, but then you wouldn’t have seen the scaffolding. So those were the choices and this is the result.
8th Street, Berkeley
Aeonium subplanum
Grayson St, Berkeley
Aloe plicatilis
San Pablo Ave, Berkeley
Jones Street, Berkeley
Aloe nobilis, the Golden Tooth Aloe.
Grayson St, Berkeley
Pardee St, Berkeley
Aeonium “Schwartzkopf”
This one has enough rosettes that it will pull through the bloom period just fine, but many would not make it alive after the flowering.
Howe Street
Aloe reitzii? ferox? and a Cotyledon.
Stannage Ave., Berkeley
A nice garden with Agave attenuata and a red-flowering Penstemon. Nice mounds.
Just kidding! The Bay Area stops at the Berkeley border for my Berkeley Succulent posts.
Stannage Ave., Berkeley
Crassula tetragona is the Pine Tree Succulent. And here we have a nice grove of them with a ground cover of oxalis.
Stannage Ave., Berkeley is well planted with succulents.
Agave attenuata well placed against the house to help it through the occasional freeze.
Stannage Ave., Berkeley
I see we have a large Cotyledon, or maybe it’s a Kalanchoe, I don’t know, and it’s about to be in full bloom. The Bay Area is home to many blooming succulents, just this one happens to attract aphids, so watch for them.
Stannage Ave., Berkeley
That’s a lot of potted Aeoniums hanging out on Stannage. Big Aeoniums, like maybe A. urbicum sized. And a big rock, too. I like big rocks.
Kains Ave., Berkeley
I see a large-headed Aeonium “Sunburst” in front of a whole mound of Aeonium heads. Lots of Crassula, some Agave, and a Lemon Tree. Delicious! Too bad its all hiding behind a well-stacked rock wall.
Kains Ave., Berkeley
That’s a Cotyledon to the left, a Crassula in the front, and numerous dark Aeoniums to boot. Nice garden!
Stannage Ave., Berkeley
Very brightly orange colored blooms spikes on this streetside Aloe arborescens. Well-tended.
Gilman Street, Berkeley
Hiding behind a fancy fence is a very bloomful Crassula ovata, better known in these parts as a Jade Tree.
