Succulents come in all sizes. This could be the closeup of a deceptively small one, one on the side of a business on my walk, but is actually about five feet wide. It is very impressive. What you see is perhaps three feet in width. The stem that it’s attached to is three or four feet long, maybe longer, which means that slowly, very slowly, it is moving toward the sidewalk. You can see how fresh the new leaves are — do they call them that? — and how spotted and stained the lower ones are. It would take more than a duster to clean this one up. It tends to dwarf the people who walk past. And I wonder if they see it as a kind of Godzilla or simply green against the block wall that forms the side of the building. It’s in perfect shape, which makes me also wonder if children, the scourge of well kept gardens, are afraid to walk up and touch it.
