Just sharing photo of succulents we saw at the Cacti and Succulent garden in Getty Museum Los Angeles last, 30Dec2012:
Of special note are those wonderful reddish batch of succulents, those are flapjacks. It made me understand how much it can tolerate cold, how it was being grown in full sun outdoors during winter. Looking at the gritty media they have and Los Angeles winter weather being mild and drier and just comfortably cool to helps them flourish well. Of course planted in ground, it is much different, but similar adjustments can be done to our container grown flapjacks, keep media gritty dry during cold season and try to give as much sun and light as you can.
