cactus flowers

Growing up on the east coast there were always bright, showy flowers to please my eyes. But when I moved to California I had a yard that was nothing more than dirt.

This succulent called Kalanchoe pumila has soft lavender and eggplant colored leaves to present these tiny pink gems.
