Succulent Madness

Okay people, succulents are officially cool :) I've ranted about them before, but the longer they're around the more they're able to surprise me. 

As I said in my previous post about succulents: I don't know a lot about plants. I just know that I'm able to keep succulents alive, which is all I really need ;) So a few months ago 'something' started to grow out of one of our larger succulent plants, and - of course - I didn't know what the hell it was. I had seen smaller succulents grow out of larger ones, so at first I thought that was happening again. Yet the 'thing' kept growing, and growing, and growing... and didn't look at all like the larger succulent. 

For the sake of experiment I just let it be...

... until it looked like something from another planet!

And this weekend, it was finally revealed what was growing out of our succulent plant. 

They're freakin' flowers!!

How insanely cool is that?! :) They´re so pretty and I had such a blast photographing them!

So yeah. Succulents. A plant weird enough to cause a geek out. 

(In my case anyway ;)
