You’re getting very sleeeeeepy….. I could get lost in the spiral of this plant’s leaves. Today’s photo is just a pure beauty shot of an aeonium (Aeonium arboreum cv., USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11). Go on, right click it and make it your wallpaper for the day!

Welcome to the Fine Gardening GARDEN PHOTO OF THE DAY blog! Every weekday we post a new photo of a great garden, a spectacular plant, a stunning plant combination, or any number of other subjects. Think of it as your morning jolt of green.

Sign up to get new posts delivered to your inbox each morning so you’ll always remember to take a look, or subscribe to our RSS feed. We look forward to sharing our garden travels with you.

If you think you have a photo that we should share on the Garden Photo of the day, email us. Send hi-res images to [email protected] with GPOD in the subject line. We’ll only respond if we plan to use your photo.

    If I could have a yard full of Aeonium's, I would be a very happy gardener!
