Stars & Bells

in #monomad7 years ago (edited)

Two of our balcony residents.

This first one is a Sedum Dasyphyllum.

The flowers are very tiny but really gorgeous. Thank goodness for the detail that macro lenses allow us to get.

And for a change (not) I decided to edit it in black and white.
I have a feeling that one of these days I'll be sued by some natural association by doing this...

Just like the one above, this second one is also a succulent, a Kalanchoe Manginii.

It has dark orange/red bell shaped flowers, hanging from tall stems that it develops during the blooming stage.

There are few other types of Kalanchoes with bell shaped flowers, but the colors on this one are the prettiest of them all, specially in black and white :p

Have a great week, peeps!
