That Felt Hat Plant (Kalachoe something) is particularly nice. Someone spent a bit of dough on it at some point.

Those are slow.

Very very nice. Great contrast between the Aeoneums and the Agave parryi.

That is a nice planting.  I really like the Kalanchoe beharensis.  I have grown them from leaf cuttings and they quite quite a while to get going.

  I remember a time when people turned their nose when the word "Succulent or Cacti" was mentioned.. then came the Drought, or, at least this one, and a shifting attitude towards plantings that can sustain themselves. Driving around today, it is easy to see how spectacular such a landscape can be.  Add in those palms/flowering trees/shrubs which won't need to be babied once established,  especially the more unusual species, and even the tiniest yard can become a self sustaining paradise full of visual appeal. Besides, kind of live the look of throwing Coccothrinax "Azul"  or any of the Copernicia together with such things as Aloe"Hurcules", Yucca rosata, Agaves, and various Echinopsis hybrids.. or any of the taller columnar cacti.. Ie: Mexican Fence post.
