Our friends gave us this vertical planter some time ago, and I filled it with random succulent cuttings. They’re now nicely established and spilling out in a most satisfactory fashion.

Is it autumn in Southern California yet? Maybe …

Dudleya, commonly known as liveforevers, is a genus of succulent plants endemic to southwestern North America and Guadalupe Island.
They do not, in fact, live forever. In the wild, many species of Dudleya are vulnerable, as poachers and habitat loss threaten their populations. Poached plants are often shipped to Asia, especially South Korea.
We have one little plant (obtained from CNPS), and it’s starting to flower! Go forth and multiply, little Dudleya!
