When I was visiting at my son's house in San Diego a couple of weeks ago (just before lockdown!), I went out in their backyard patio and shot a few plants there. One was this very pretty succulent in pinks and greens. 3/31/20 My webiste: www.sparhawkphotography.com
Walking in my son's neighborhood in San Diego on Christmas Day, I passed a yard with this great succulent garden in what looked like a birdbath. I thought it was really pretty with all the different colors of plants. 2/2/20 Judith Sparhawk
This large type of agave plant was photographed in a garden in Harmony California. I believe it is the one called a Century Plant, which got its name from the early belief that it lived to 100 years before blooming. The truth is, it usually blooms at between 10 and 30 years of age, with a single very tall stem, 15 to 25 feet high, flowering at the top. Commonly the plant dies after blooming. This one has wavy leaves, which is not completely typical of this plant, so this may be a different agave. At any rate, I liked it looked in the garden. 1/27/20 Judith Sparhawk
