... e forse passerà ancora un po' di tempo prima che io riesca ad essere presente con costanza, qui le cose procedono con alti e bassi e sono sempre molto impegnata. Ringrazio tutti gli amici per gli interessamenti e i saluti, saprò ricambiare appena possibile.

Graptopetalum Paraguayense, detta anche "pianta di madreperla" oppure "pianta fantasma". Ecco il perché, nella descrizione qui sotto: The common name ghost plant probably has to do with the look of the grayish white, opalescent leaves. The plants come not from Paraguay, as the species name implies, but Mexico. Graptopetalum rosettes resemble echeverias, to which they are related. Overlapping, rounded triangles of graptopetalum leaves form a Fibonacci spiral. Graptopetalums are chameleons. Those grown in partial shade tend to be blue-gray; in full, hot sun, gray-pink; in full sun, pinkish gray to yellow. On my balcony now there is the sun, but still wintry sun... Of all the succulents, ghost plants are among the easiest and most remarkable. They are true survivors. Damaged stem? No problem. No water? The plant hunkers down and looks pretty much the same for months. Frost? once more, no problem !
