autumn leaves

Reno's wettest Oct. ever-although not really very wet unless you live in a desert-but no cold weather in sight. Everything is still outside and the biggest job is picking fallen leaves off the plants.

None in any plant pots here, but plenty on my front lawns and more to fall too. My back garden will be even worse once my oak tree goes to sleep! At least the oak is my tree, this sycamore is just over the wall in next doors garden :-/

Nice! What's the pink one in the left front of the first picture? And what's the giant echeveria...?

Very nice! Same thing on this side of the Mountains near Auburn....we've had over 8 inches of rain this month, and the leaves are falling in every container.

Josh, always had in my mind that your state was Northern California, just googled Auburn and discovered I'm way out! NorCal appears to be North Carolina then? I'm not stalking you, I'm just interested in seeing where folks are situated as I'm not overly familiar with US states!

I thought the large plant in pics 2 & 3 is Dudleya (D. britonii)?- is it?

Dave--beautiful as always--most of my stuff is in, but the pots were heavy from all that rain.

Gill--Just in case Josh doesn't answer you, he is in Northern California; on the other side of the Sierras from Reno, NV. That side of the mountain range always gets more water. Auburn is an old "Gold Rush" area. (Sorry about the history lesson--I love California, but I can't afford to live there.)

Thank's, Noto!

Gill, you were right, I am in northern California. But adding to the confusion is that there are many towns named "Auburn" in America, and Auburn, North Carolina, is one such town :-) Sorry about that!

Thanks Josh, some nearby parts of the Sierras have had almost 20 in. of rain, a great start after so much drought.

Inspiritid, pink is crassula candy cane and as per Rina, large silver is dudleya brittonii which is just coming back into growth after being dormant all summer.

Gill, what a beautiful place.

Rina, is it winter in the great north?

Dave - kind of winter...we had number of nights bellow freezing (one night down to 19*F), snow on Fri, luckily not much (less than 1/4"). On Sat, temps shot up to 62*F. Trees have very few leaves left...

Looks like your succulents are still outside, enjoying as much fresh air as possible.
