Macro Flowers:Kalanchoe thyrsiflora, flat succulent

Last September, I posted photos of Kalanchoe thyrsiflora, which I was very proud of. Unfortunately, the plant has grown tall and not as beautiful as before. It has lost much of its red color. However, she has made me a grandmother with two babies.

May be it is due to the very wet and cold weather we have been having.

The 3 photos below were from last year's post.

I am the proud owner of this unusual succulent. It has red edges and is bigger than the size of my palm. It has fleshy, paddle-like leaves that resemble the shape of a clamshell as though I am closing my palms together.

Sorry I can't tell you the name, Do you know? I googled the images, but can't see any like this, It might be a flapjack but it is definitely not a rosette.

That is Kalanchoe thyrsiflora - I have it on my wish list for sure. What a great plant in mixed planters with Echeveria and other succulents.

The polar blast here in New Zealand makes me reminisce the hot summer holiday I had on the Gold Coast of Australia. My son was a permanent fixture at my bro Charles and sis-in-Law Karen's pool. Some time ducks came to the pool. Other times, Ibises hung around.

These were grown on the campus of Nanyang Technological University which I lived for 16 years. I wasn't blogging then, and I didn't appreciate them as they were all over the place.

Thursday Theme Song: Traffic Jam

The worst traffic jams I had been in were during the Chinese New Year festivals when there is an exodus of Malaysian workers in Malaysia cities and in Singapore returning home for their reunion. We were stuck for 6 hours.

Traffic Jam by James Taylor

(Chorus)
Damn this traffic jam
How I hate to be late
It hurts my motor to go so slow
Damn this traffic jam
Time I get home my supper'll be cold
Damn this traffic jam

Well I left my job about 5 o'clock
It took fifteen minutes go three blocks
Just in time to stand in line
With a freeway looking like a parking lot

- Chorus -

Now I almost had a heart attack
Looking in my rear view mirror
I saw myself the next car back
Looking in the rear view mirror
'Bout to have a heart attack
I said

- Chorus -

Now when I die I don't want no coffin
I thought about it all too often
Just strap me in behind the wheel
And bury me with my automobile

- Chorus -

Damn...

Now I used to think that I was cool
Running around on fossil fuel
Until I saw what I was doing
Was driving down the road to ruin
