Or in this case, a season. I took my picture of Graptopetalum rusbyi, admittedly sited in a rather severe location in the crevice of a rock, in the early fall. Location is Superior, Arizona.

Thanks to Ron Parker (of Agaveville fame) I (and, most importantly, YOU!) get to see this plant be all it can be. Shot recently, the plant in active growth and apparently plentiful nutrients is almost unrecognizable as the same thing. Castle Hot Springs, Arizona.

This is one of only two native-to-USA Graptopetalums, the other being G. bartramii.
