This is one of the plants I bought from a local nursery without knowing its botanical name nor its specific needs. It turned out to be an Echeveria pulidonis. Echeverias are a large group of more than 150 species of small flowering succulents, originally from Central America, characterised by rosettes of leaves and clusters of rosettes. The variety name comes from a common male name in Spanish, … Continue reading Echeveria pulidonis 🌱🌵🌱
Un paio di anni fa avevo comprato questa mia prima pianta grassa da un vivaio di città senza nemmeno sapere quale ne fosse il nome scientifico o le esigenze di coltivazione. Sono stato fortunato nello scoprire che piante di questo genere riescono a sopravvivere nelle condizioni di maggiore incuria, essendo piante originarie dei deserti dell’Africa meridionale. Le mie assenze prolungate da casa avevano significato che … Continue reading Crassula ovata 🌱🌵🇮🇹

I’ve had this little plan for almost a year and i guess it has been used to living in my urban flat since I bought it last summer. It must be quite a different environment from the natural habitat in Southern Africa where this originates. My recent passion for succulents is bringing me to develop a little collection of plants, that hopefully will survive my … Continue reading Haworthia limifolia 🌵🌱🌵
Qualche tempo fa ho comprato delle piccole piante grasse e dei cactus per una composizione per il mio davanzale. Ormai queste piccole piante sono cresciute molto, nonostante la mia mancanza di cure. In realtà sembrano prosperare nonostante la mia mancanza di attenzione e di annaffiature. Una pianta in particolare, la Haworthia marumiana, sta estendendo il suo territorio ben oltre il luogo in cui era originariamente … Continue reading Haworthia marumiana 🌱🌵🇮🇹

Originally marshland in between royal residences, it was drained and landscaped to host exotic animals and plants by orders of James I. Green Park is the smallest of the Royal Parks in London, with … Continue reading My favourite parks 🌳☀️🌳
Apart from charming sunsets and colourful glass, there are many other nature subjects that attract my attention, with plants and flowers taking a good deal of consideration. Regardless the season of the year, there are always interesting natural findings, in the parks and gardens around my place, that deserve to be framed with a nice shot. In this day and age, I no longer possess … Continue reading Plants & Flowers ❤️🌵🌼
Ho cominciato a collezionare succulente solo qualche mese fa, dopo aver realizzato che i miei prolungati periodi di assenza da Londra non mi permettevano di mantenere in vita delle piante nel mio appartamento. Le uniche piante che erano riuscite a sopravvivere, anzi a rigoglire, senza cure ae senza annaffiamenti erano le succulente. Ormai ho in casa una bella collezione di oltre 30 piantine di varie … Continue reading Le mie succulente preferite 🌱🌵🌱
A few days ago I went to my first botanical show and it was really a revelation. For months now I have been developing my personal collection of succulents, stemming from the realisation that these are the only plants that can survive my prolonged periods of absence from home. Because these are plants whose natural habitat is the desert, they actually thrive without water and … Continue reading Succulent show ❤️🌵❤️
The little plant I’m featuring in this post belogs to a different genus than the other ones in my succulent collection. This plant is belonging to the genus called kalanchoe, which actually comes from a Chinese name. This mean this group of plants has origins in Asia and Africa and was know already i at the end of 1700s with different varieties already identified and … Continue reading Kalanchoe thyrsiflora 🌵🌱🌵
