Aeonium 'Cyclops' (Giant Red Aeonium)



28 January 2017:

This wild succulent is growing next to the driveway. It is huge, and has a very bright yellow bloom coming straight up out of the plant. You can just make out a bee busy pollinating the flower in the lower right. I think this plant, including the flower, is about a meter high.

These succulents apparently like our cool and wet winter and spring weather.

Lily started this plant using a cutting from a parent plant that Steve and Dee once had next door.

Wilson Park




21 January 2017:

Today we walked three laps on the walking path at Wilson Park in Torrance on a very brisk morning. Lily then did some shopping at the Farmers' Market that is always set up in the nearby parking lot.
