I'm growing candy corn in my garden right now. At least this little plant reminds me of this piece of candy I have only seen in the US. It might be available somewhere else but I am not aware of that since I never buy candy except for my sugarfree coffee drops... The green stone is a kindergarten piece of art from Mr. 19 :)
It seems this is a form of an echeveria pulvinata ( click here to see a magnificent professional pic) It has always been in my garden (it came with the house, I have just multiplied it!) and it is a little plant, see how giant the pine needles appear under the tiny annual flower.
It has been windy and we cannot get rid of the pine needles, they are all over - even inside the house. This humble plant is the one producing such an extraordinary burst of color!
and because they are next to it, here are two other succulent plants from my wild garden: the green version is below. With a wonderful symmetry a dear blogfriend has taught me to admire and truly look at the details!
The second plant is a close relative which I call the dark lady. Although I have seen truly black ones of this kind! I don't know their names but I will update the post as soon as I find out about them.
This is what it looks like:
