The last time I visited North Carolina, I was consumed by succulents. Between Plant Delights Nursery and the JC Raulston Arboretum, I was in heaven! Here are some shots of my favorites.

KrisRhodes writes: Great shots, would be nice if you included the species name and variety and whether they were winter hardy. Considering they are in pots, I assume not winter hardy. Posted: 10:51 am on April 21st
