Monomad - I don't need roses.

Succulents are awesome! It is out of question. They come in different shapes, sizes and colours from very pale silvery and blue to almost black.
They also have this one thing in common - they look great in black and white.

The one above is very pale, pastel blue with darker tips. I don't have an ID for it, but it doesn't matter. It is one many Echeverias I own and I absolutely adore the colour. Below is an Aeonium that with more sun it turn almost black. The lighter center is a brand new growth that didn't catch the dark colour yet. I like how the contrast pops in monochromes.

Echeveria Agavoides that starts to grow really big now with multiple rosettes. They have those really thick and stiff leaves. It is one of my first, and biggest echeverias. It is also one of those that will not propagate via leaf cutting no matter how hard I try.

Echeveria Pilosa with fussy leaves. One of the tough ones that I abuse a lot. Not on purpose, but it handles sun well, so it takes sunnier spot than the rest that need some protection. Nie plant :)

Sedum Sediforme that is native to Portugal and can be found in the dunes near the ocean. Pretty little leaves with pretty yellow flowers when it blooms.

Lastly a Kalanchoe Lucky Bells babies. It is not a rosette type like the ones above, but I like how those little babies look attached to the leaves. Terrible weed when you let it grow freely. It can produce hundreds little plants each year!

All those were shot on my ~~still_not_stretching~~ balcony.
