It's a sorcher

Just a quick puff in sunny Fitzroy

Such a beautiful day to walk around the back lanes 

& alleys of Melbourne's Northside. 

    Drawn to the Night Cat in Johnston Street, Fitzroy.

    To be surprised and delighted by the film noir 1950s  

      "postcard" from the normally sunny  Everfresh Studio.

Magically crammed to the brim with brand images. 

A totally tail wagging experience.

"Black Rose" cuttings

Aeonium arboreum var. atropurpureum 'Schwarzkof'

Aeonium is a genus of about 35 species, 

mainly native to the Canary Islands.

I have broken up a clump of this dramatic

maroon succulent for re-planting. 

Do you have a sunny position?

I started with just one plant many

years ago.  A sunny position and 

rainfall in Melbourne leads to an 

annual chop. Very hardy and pest 

resistant. New growth is green which 

then gradually darkens with exposure

more sunlight.
