Most of the succulent plants I've accumulated are more colorful over winter, if they're getting enough sun. Blue-ish, gray, purple, red, orange, yellow, regular green, olive green - it's fantastic! It makes a mini garden look stuck in fall colors mode, like tiny deciduous trees, if you can indulge a little imagination.

And I think at least 80% bloom over the short-day part of the year, between the equinoxes, away from the heat of summer. I get a lot of wild, stretched blooms on inside plants, but they are blooms & they provide plant-citement during the inside season. There's something so fun about tiny plants making tiny flowers, especially in the captivity of some kind of container!

Lithops, Ledebouria, Ludisia, so many Kalanchoes, Senecios/Curios/Kleinias, Schlumbergera, Grapto's & the Sedum hybrids Graptosedum Sedeveria, Callisias, Gasterias, Aloes, wax Begonias keep going, others that don't come to mind @ the moment.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
