The word “succulent” sounds titillating. You can almost “feel” what it means as it rolls off of your tongue. Say it right now. Slowly…
O.k. maybe I just wanted to use the words “succulent and “titillating” in the same sentence. 😉 But these beauties grow all over the place in Florida. They seem to be just as happy in our tropical swamp as they are in the dry air of the desert. But with thousands of varieties available, they do have varying care requirements. So if you want to grow some of these beauties inside or out, read the labels on the plants before buying. They do love bright sunlight, but they can get sunburned. I have seen a few wither and die myself.
I love the smooth feel they have and the variety of colors they come in. I’ve taken artistic liberty with this one obviously. I was intrigued by the interesting shapes and shadows in this plant. Nature is my inspiration!

As a painter, I am no stranger to getting wet. For years I’ve had acrylic splattered, dripped, sprayed and poured onto me. And sometimes I just stick my hands right into it. I am finding that photography is also keeping me damp. I live in Florida where it is humid and hot most of the year. Right now it is quite chilly at 35 degrees, but last week at Selby Gardens there was one place that was warm and quite drippy. They have a huge greenhouse there with the most beautiful and exotic plants you can image. My group of friends were awestruck as we walked around the lush interior. While we separated ourselves I found this small glassed off area that was all green inside except for one lone orchid. The condensation formed on the glass in front of it and it reminded me of a rainy day in the tropics….
