Spring Across Two Continents (Updated!)

There really is no such thing as spring in Zone 14, but Knitty Kitty's expat succulents do not know about that. On the other side of the planet in Zone 7, spring finally showed up.

"Spring" in the tropics is that time of year when the days slowly return to the usual 12 hours. The difference is not as drastic farther north or south of the equator, but enough for plants to notice. So a lot of them start blooming.
