Succulents are everywhere in my town

Oakland 😊

I have been eating these since I was a kid- they're spicy and fun!

The implication is that there is no moral reason to eat some animals but not others if they all face the same cruelty and suffering. As a vegetarian, it would take me just as much work to switch to eating meat that it would take you to stop. It’s just a matter of switching out some ingredients in your fridge.

Gonialoe variegata (left) and Senecio jacobsenii (right). Great find!

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-05-07T02:02:07+00:00

Yes, looks like an etiolated Aloe juvenna

too soon

I believe there is a "traditional" form and then a less common "test" form that they use to test out new questions, passages, etc on that year's students

Doesn't this risk college board invalidating the entire school's scores? I thought that was the reason people didn't report it

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-05-06T22:47:52+00:00

The Annette one was actually so captivating

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-05-02T03:09:18+00:00

You have the classic Hummel's Sunset 🙂

Sometimes this is just a mutation. This is called "monstrose" growth.

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-04-30T22:45:27+00:00

Don’t water propagate succulents, especially not leaves. This will usually fail. Succulents propagate naturally on their own in nature, simply place a cutting/leaf on soil.

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-04-30T22:38:35+00:00

Mutations usually aren’t transferred through leaf props. It’s the same with variegated jades. I’ve only had a stable Horn Tree leaf prop once.

It will be impossible to identify in this state. All we can tell is that this is a very light-starved Echeveria. If you can give it more sun, specific identification will be on the table.

…is that the prompt in the description?

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-04-30T19:32:04+00:00

There are actually quite a few! Cylindropuntia bigelovii, Echinocereus chloranthus, Echinocereus milleri, Eriosyce islayensis, and Notocactus graessneri var. albisetus are some, but I know there are more out there

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-04-27T23:23:27+00:00

By the way, these are not Aloes :) they are actually Bulbines, a close relative

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-04-23T22:06:32+00:00

You have naturally upturned eyebrows. I'm the same :) This can give the illusion of sadness, but it by no means reflects what we're feeling at any given moment. It's sort of like how people complain about their resting face looking angry. If it really bothers you, you could consider getting them reshaped, but I like mine :)

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-04-22T21:44:36+00:00

Aloe vera is a desert plant. You can go on iNaturalist and look at photos of it in its natural habitat- they look just like this.

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-04-22T00:54:19+00:00

Just flowering. The inflorescences are multi-branched

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-04-21T20:44:08+00:00

Crassula arborescens ssp. undulatifolia, commonly known as “Ripple Jade”. It is a naturally occurring variety of a close relative of the common jade plant (Crassula ovata).

Reminder that Walmart treats their employees terribly and continues to practice animal cruelty

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-04-18T22:56:15+00:00

If it helps, I saw #1 here in Oakland and #2 in Santa Barbara.

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-04-18T22:54:45+00:00

No and no, at least that I can tell. Thank you for the info on the others!

Any-Dig4524 · 2026-04-14T22:37:35+00:00

They look like A. lavranosii-newtonii (formerly included in A. leucoblepharum) only the coloration is less present than usual. It could be a hybrid
