My mom’s breathtaking hen and chicks. The frost claimed a lot of plant life this year; but my mom’s succulents are as beautiful as ever:
In contrast, here’s what mine are looking like lately:
Can anyone guess which picture depicts the hen and chicks that attempted to cross the road and landed in the hospital instead? Last rites will likely be given shortly. Say your goodbyes dear friends.

Square One Notes 
I think the chicks just need a good, long bath to become pretty like the hen. Put that one in a fortune cookie, Sandra! Beautiful photo of the prosperous succulents.

Thanks Sheena! All the credit goes to my mom. I don’t know how she does it but her garden is miraculous. I was amazed at how this shot looks like a painting.

I may leave the succulents to my mom. I do better with miniature shrubs and ground covers. New pics of what’s in bloom coming soon! Thanks for the encouragement Dora!

I really do too Ninna! Thanks! Originally wanted to photograph an open road and use it. But was unable to find something that matched the image in my mind.

My sister planted these in our yard when we were little. They looked scrawny, too—until my dad rolled over them with the lawn mower. After that they miraculously grew like gangbusters!

Note taken. I will try mowing them down. They can’t look any worse than they do now.
