| Perfect subject for this time of year! Seeing lots of purple and pink on the patio right now... Grapto/Echeverias     Agave, aloe flowers   This is the most reliable aloe here for purple.   Its offspring tend to be pretty purple in the sun   This one is getting some sun protection so it's greener.  Barrel cactus fruit here.  These Dyckias are only honorary succulents but they like the same lifestyle.   |

OK you got me on my feet and out the door with a camera, here goes some purple, pink and reds. First up is a Kelly Griffin aloe hybrid 'Pink Panther' another Kelly Griffin aloe, 'Raspberry Ruffles'  next is a group of Echeveria 'Afterglow' in a planter  Echeveria 'Mt. Etna', all have been beheaded in the last few months  More beheaded Echeveria, these are 'Zorro's'  The last Echeveria is 'Metallica', daddy of the Perle von nurnberg I believe.  Finally an Aeonium 'Marti Gras'  Great time of the year for succulent colors, enjoy. Dennis It all began in a garden. |

I think this is a Graptoveria. This is Lithops somethingorother. It is a couple years old and has never grown in the correct way. But it has a very faint reddish purplish tint.  This nodulosa Echeveria has been neglected for ever. It keeps sending up babies, and I really should treat it more kindly.  A new Jade cutting I got the other day, which has reddish leaves.  This Sedum was green all winter and has recently started showing pink.  Not a succulent, but this pepper plant is just breaking dormancy and you can see a little bit of purple in its leaves. It turns purple then solid black in the summer.  Also not a succulent, but this coleus is definitely pinkish purple. I've had it for years and it will not stop growing.  When I bought this it was labeled Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg. However, I think it is probably a hybrid or a poorly bred Perle von Nurnberg because it's growth habit has always been wonky.  I stole this Christmas cactus cutting off the floor at Walmart. It should not have made a new bloom without roots, but it did. I'm going to take the bloom off.  This coleus standard is a couple years old. Also not a succulent, but I grow it with them because it enjoys lots of light. That chair in my yard would really appreciate it if the movers would come and get it already.  Lastly, this bird is as pink as pink gets and she lives in my plants because I am trashy.  Keep going! |

I forgot these purple sempervivums because they are outside waiting to be planted in my rock garden once I get it started. I got each container for $1 at a tiny little greenhouse run by a man in his 80s. I did not have any cash on me, so he insisted that I just bring him the money whenever I got it. I thought that was kind of crazy so I went to a gas station and got cash and took directly to him. I told him he should not trust people but then I got to thinking probably nobody will ever go in there with the intent to buy $1 sempervivums on credit and not pay. lol Keep going! |

| Pink & Purple are my fav colors! Pachysedum Love the pink tips on Jade cultivar 'Gollum'  This little fella is no longer with us, but we'll always have the pic.  Echeveria harmsii  Euphorbia tirucalli  E. tithymaloides  Graptosedum, sometimes they feel pink, sometimes purple    Graptopetalum paraguayense, same thing Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi, variegated    Peperomia tricolor  Sedeveria   Sedum morganianum  Hardy Sedum cultivar  S. tetractinum  👀😁😂 - SMILE! -☺😎☻☮👌✌∞☯🐣🐦🐔🐝🍯🐾 The less I interfere, the more balance mother nature provides. 👒🎄👣🏡🍃🍂🌾🌿🍁❦❧ 🍃🍁🍂🌾🌻🌸🌼🌹🌽❀☀🌺 ☕👓 The only way to succeed is to try. |

| Oh, I didn't think to include plants from previous years. My Easter cactus. Its leaves are purple-tinged, too. I like Easter cactus blooms so much better than Christmas/Thanksgiving cactus blooms.  This Faucaria had very faint purple teeth. I knocked it over and destroyed it, unfortunately. But I currently have a bunch of seedlings, some of which are, in fact, purple-tinged.  Ordinary Echeveria flower.  When I first got this Gasteria it had a faint purple tint on some of the leaves, but that has gone and never returned. I wonder why. It's probably light levels but I don't know if it needs more or less...  Portulaca are so easy. This bowl looked completely disheveled all year but they grew with colorful abandon and bloomed until frost.  Keep going! |

I'm colorblind (reds/greens) and not much of a gardener/taxonomist - so I may be wrong on two fronts sticking these in here...but they're pretty:  This is fun: The thread "Asa's former lawn...or (better) Dirt's current gardens" in Garden Photos forum I update this sometimes: https://garden.org/blogs/view/... |
