Mexican Snowball

Also called Mexican Rose - this succulent comes in several varieties. And it has several names, including the scientific ones I can't pronounce.
I have both green and green/red types in my front yard. They just sort of came up on their own years ago, I transplanted one into a large terra cotta pot which it has now broken up as it's roots and branches forced their way out of the pot.
Smaller ones are nearby but the big one is now over 6' tall and about 6' wide extending out about 4-5 feet from the fence the pot was up against.
Every so often a branch comes out and has a "Rose" on the end of it.
Two shots, one of the green ones, one of the reddish/mixed types and a second edit of that shot that happened when I clicked the wrong button in PS sorta liked the result.
#1 7DII, 100-400L mk2 @ 234, 1/800 @ f/16, ISO-3200 hand held at 20'
#2 7DII, 100-400L mk2 @ 234, 1/800 @ f/16, ISO-6400
#3 results when I clicked "Auto Tone" under Image in PS-it went toward the cool blue end of the spectrum

I'd seen these before but never knew the name! How beautiful, Jerry, and I also love the cool tone of the last image!

I had to do a Google image search to find out the name.
