Kantō-resident succulent fans will recognize this as the home of Shimamura Engei, a large garden center with a great inventory of succulents.

This area must be big on succulents because one foot out of the station and I was face-to-face with Saboten 🤪

I love walking around neighborhoods and peeping the gardens. This house has two large containers of graptopetalum, maybe Purple Delight or G. paraguayense (朧月)

OK so maybe I went a little overboard 🤔

They gave me the tray for free, probably expecting that I came by car and could just chuck it in the trunk.

But no, I came by train. Luckily just one transfer, but ~2 hours each way. So now I’m the weirdo with a tray full of succulents on the train.
