Graptopetalum paraguayense
Another succulent flowering on our two balconies, now in March.
A very useful plant.
The photo is from some other year

Living in Korinthos, Greece.
No garden but two balconies, one facing south and the other north.
Most of my plants are succulents which need little care

Very beautiful plant, thanks for sharing the photo! Here in Germany this species is almost hardy ... :D

Does it grow outside?
I would have thought the leaves would freeze.
Various succulents which I have here in Corinth do not survive the winter in Sparta as it is colder there.

Yes, it grows outside here, indeed - some of the fleshy leaves always rot away or freeze in winter but it always recovers from the succulent stems.
Some Mediterranean succulents seem quite hardy to me, even here in southern Germany.
