Succulents I have known

Found in the friary garden but very
prevalent in the area. I am told this plant
is an import from colonial times.
This is my last day the Rift Valley, Lower Subukia. I return to Nairobi tomorrow to prepare for a move to Uganda. This will be my permanent location until June and probably thereafter. So... I have been taken by the flora of the Rift Valley, because of the cyclical nature of rain and aridity there is a profusion of succulents  ans I thought I would share them with you.  Hope your New Year is blessed. Pax et Bonum  ODE  tim

Also found in our friary garden tended well by Br. Florentius
Found growing wild along the fence line
just outside the friary.
This is called a Pencil Plant.  It is used commonly as fencing but
here is growing wild. Oh by the way, it poisonous.
Aloes growing along side the road. You see one in bloom on the
left.  This to is an import to Kenya. This species originated in Mexico
and parts of the US

  1. Tim, love the pictures! It almost reminds me of our trip to a Big Bend around Easter time one year. Praying you enjoy Uganda as much as you have Kenya. Keep the pictures coming. We love you and praying for a very happy and blessed New Yesr for you and all the Friars.
