1. It look if the are on fire. Very nice 🙂

   1. Like embers. 🙂

2. Pretty flowers

   1. Even demure ones can be flamboyant, given the chance.

3. Ooh aren’t these lovely

   1. Very uppealing, as Oddment observed below.

4. Looks like candy corn! (Don’t know if you have that horrible candy around Halloween.)

   1. We don’t have it, but I checked out pictures of it and you’re right!

5. Reminds me of Candy Corn we see for sale around Halloween. 🙂 Do you know it?

   1. So funny that two of you were observing that at the same time. I’ve never had the chance to try it. We have more traditional Bonfire foods than Halloween ones.

6. The flowers do look a little like candy corn. Very bright and jolly.

   1. It sounds as if plants would have to come with a ‘Do Not Eat’ sticker over there.

7. Great photo. They flower for ages too!

   1. The shape reminds me of Fritillaria michailovskyi and the colour would be the same, except brown, not orange.

   2. I didn’t realise that.

8. I vote for changing its name to Echeveria ‘Candy Corn.’ It’s ever so much more uppealing. (Sorry, but it’s late here and I couldn’t help it.)

   1. Becky would love uppealing.

      1. YAY. There are so few of us who appreciate sophisticated humor.

         1. I laughed at that one. My sweetheart and I share made-up jokes that we have so far only invented either the question or the answer for. There is a knack to laughing at those.

            1. That is hilarious. I can only imagine!

9. Beautiful blooms well-captured.

   1. It was flowering in a quiet greenhouse and seemed to deserve a bit of the limelight. 🙂

      1. Glad you brought it to our attention.

10. A lovely plant I have only discovered since we came to the New Forest

    1. I thought Echeverias were very uninteresting when I first learned about them, but I’ve had to eat my words.
