I have a yard which I cannot keep wild animals from. Over the past year I have discovered I cannot plant anything Graptoveria or of similar succulence becasue the skunks, yes the skunks, eat them.

The good news is, I have a very difficult time killing any Aeoniums!

My planting of the front section is a bit unimaginative due to the fact when I put all (except the large Swarktopf in front) of these Aeoniums in they were a single rosette which I'd not labled for their growing habits. Once I've figured out the "behavior" of each variety I will be able to stage them better.
