This blog is part of the Blogchatter Half Marathon 2024 challenge.. I have reminisced about my short but memorable foray into acquiring and cultivating succulents only to be disappointed later when I realised that they couldn't cope with the vagaries of weather conditions in the plains. A fascination of three years, when year in and year out, I would coax them to acclimatize. Sadly I realized the difference between relocating and dislocating! Lesson learnt. End result is a sadder and wiser me, still in love with them but by letting them be!
