These delicate looking flowers are borne on 8-inch stems.
As I snapped the pic I saw it's loaded with aphids! 😥

They're getting a huge blast of soapy water pronto.

thanks guys.
I really like the blue rosettes of Echeveria varieties.
Seems to be a nice contrast with all the sunburned green palms 😆

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

You have to be carful with the aphids as they seem to love Echeveria and can turn nice plants into ugly plants in little time. The hummingbirds also love these things.

Thanks folks.
Aphids are still on there after a soapy bath, but they're clean 😕
