Can't remember if it was @dreamlettuce or @strawberrymoon who posted about smelling their succs like forever ago, but today as I was tending to my #iceplant I noticed she's started smelling really sweet like fruit! Couldn't quite place which fruit tho... I have no idea what figs smell like, so maybe it was figs. She is called a #hottentotfig after all... Lol 🤔🤷 #succulentsquad #succulentlove #whatthesuccwednesday #carpobrotusedulis #sourfig #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #socalgreg #socalsucculents #wickedvalkyrie
