I Found The Answer...

I had posted a discussion about this plant a few days back. I tried my best to get the exact name of this succulent plant. The local people in my city called it as 'dugong' or Echeveria Mauna Loa. The mystery is solved. How's life out there? How's the weather in your place today?
I cannot keep still inside the house today. So I move around the vicinity and I saw this lovely plant that makes me curious about it. I tried to search for some...

Snow in my back yard. Photo is mine.
That's a pretty name for it, Shavkat. Would you like some more snow?

@Shavkat We call that a milkshake here. It is ice cream and milk with other flavors added into it. No, you can't use snow to make mix-mix. The snow here has too many impurities mixed in with it. (Impurities here like smoke, soot, dust and whatever else is floating around in the air.) When I was a kid, after a really heavy snow, mom would go out to a big snow drift and bring in bowls full of fresh snow to make snow ice cream. She'd mix in fruit, sugar and milk. It was delicious.

@DaddyEvil That's what I have thought. Air pollution is not a good thing and it affects the sky. I remembered my friend who had seen for the first time and made this food. I was laughing and told her that you engulfed many unwanted particles.

I guess the heating system is so active there. I am not sure if I can live with so much coldness in the area.

I'm doing well, it's not even sunrise yet so I couldn't tell you hat the day will bring. I just know I'm just taking the advantage of the early morning quiet to get some work done. I know tomorrow (later today) it'll be chaotic and I won't get as much as I'd like accomplished.

About 5 hour drive from here give or take. I think that's further south. It's 195 miles from here. @Shavkat

I agree. "Dugong' is like the name of a sea creature.

I cannot keep still for not finding the right answer. I guess it is my persona. It is so hot here today. I did buy some raw goods in the public market today, too.

Isn't a "dugong" the name of an architectural curiosity---something like 'a clump of blocks that helps hold up pagodas that have it in their ceiling' (or something ... I remember it from a NOVA-episode about architecture in China's Forbidden City). (Looking for the picture, I also found out there's a kind of WALRUS called a 'dugong.' )

I did not know this. Thank you for sharing it. 'Dugong' is a local language word here. We also call the sea lion 'dugong.'

That's a lovely plant! It's winter here, so I can only enjoy indoor flowerpots.
