This is another favorite photo from Bates Nursery.
It's a "Hen & Chicks" plant....
The colors on this one plant were so beautiful...so beautiful that this plant now has a home with me. I'm still trying to decide what to pot it in...but i've come to believe that with a plant this beautiful, the pot won't matter too much.
Kinda like the reverse with a person....if the inside parts, the soul of a person is beautiful, the outside is just window dressing. Oh, i'm sure that it's nice to have amazing beauty on the outside, but isn't a loving soul and a grateful heart the most beautiful part of a person?
We, as people, are different than plants in that way. You look at a plant, see how beautiful, how colorful, it is, then decide that yes, this IS the "one".
Can't do that with people.
We should look more "into" a person, don't you think? You miss the very best parts of a person when you don't...outside beauty can sometimes be so flashy that you miss the inside beauty.
And that would be a terrible shame...
