Can succulents GET any cooler? I snapped this shot in a garden in California a few years ago. I love how the peachy stems match the peachy wall, and how the cascading lotus vine (Lotus berthelotii, USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11) on the right matches the succulents in the corner of the bed. Yum.

Wonderful photo! Thank you. The Lotus berthelotii is a marvelously fine-textured plant and perfect foil for the texture of the succulents.

Very,very nice!!I love succulents!!These plants go well with them.
As some of you know I'm a sucker for succulents. What you don't know is that I use this Lotus all the time not only for it's fluffy grey trailing texture but also for the amazing flowers and of course they are orange, my fave color for the sun! Perfect combo. Great way to end the week.
