No, not at all a succulent.. it's from the Proteaceae family (Protea, Banksia etc). They need really poor soil and dryness (mine is very sandy). My bush is a very large, healthy one.. this is about half its size, next to a very tall olive tree. The flowers look amazing when they all come out.

Such beautiful pictures!
Apart from the colors on the trees, there's nothing good about September.
not the oppresive heat and humidity of July and August!
I agree. I never liked fall when I lived up north because that means winter is on the way. I loathe winter.Oh,
I'm not much of a fall person overall because I know what follows fall and it ain't pretty. But this year, I'm looking forward to decreased humidity and some cooler temps. This past summer has been somewhat ridiculous and I normally love summer. I think it's more so the humidity than the temperatures.
There's a lot of outside work to be done to get things in order for winter. We're closing the pool this week. I'm going to start trimming and cutting plants down in the flowerbeds this week.
I will become a football widow within the next week or so.
I've got dry, poor soil in some places. Alkaline, too. Hope this plant gets introduced here.
