i was away for 9 days at the southern california coast with an amazing view of a vast array of succulents.  they love the coastal views and air as much as i do i think.  they thrive so exquisitely in all the gardens near the sea.  such wonderous colors and large forms and blooms.  

i carried a little foundling home with me that i discovered washed up on the rocky beach.  it was sandy and squishy wilty in all it's fleshy leaves except the very topmost ones.  it is in water and i am patiently waiting for roots to show.  keeping my fingers crossed that it may love the foggy mornings here just as much.  perhaps it will miss the beach as i do:)
