A papaya, battered by the brutal coastal environment. A feast for birds and lizards.
Lithops lesliei cv Albinica. This tiny South African plant, the size of a dime, is oblivious to the winds. The old outer leaves are nourishment for the new lime colored bodies in the center. 
Brooding sea.
Paradise.

It's beautiful in your neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteWow! How lucky you are to have such scenery surrounding you!
ReplyDeleteProspero..where are you at? I am confused. Where does your garden grow?
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is paradise! Thanks for giving us a glimpse!
ReplyDeleteThat Papaya is so colorful!! I love the little succulent!
ReplyDeleteDear Prospero, the lime thingy is so unique! I have never come across such plant before. And the papaya, oh the birds must have been so hungry ;-) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteFollowing the papaya, I thought the lithops too was a fruit (cut up). I've only seen purple and grey versions before. This one looks very pretty.

PICTURES JUST PICTURES
So, are you away on vacation?!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness these pictures are beautiful! I enjoyed scrolling thru your posts much.
ReplyDeleteALL of your photos are stunning!
ReplyDeleteNice collection of photos...all beautiful:)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are very eclectic. I do love them all as each is telling a separate story. Each has its wonderful merits, say its the sea or a half eaten papaya. The different plants are wonderful each is special and makes you yearn for sublime, lazy days; doing nothing just dreaming...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors of the papaya, Lithops, ocean. It does look like a paradise!
ReplyDeleteI love 'Sea Layers' and 'Room with a View' - they are like paintings.
