Welcome Chris. The yellow ID tag on Beadleman sure looks familiar.

Hi Chris. Nice plants. I'm a Texan transplanted to California. What part of the state do you live in? Have you tried going into the countryside to find one of the native Hechtias?

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone!

Gonzer, that yellow tag should be real familiar to a lot of us here :)

HDD, I think David Meade is my fav collectors source. Jimbos is nice too but hes got lotsa common stuff and is more geared toward casual purchasers.

ltecato, ive heard of a texas native plant recently. never thought somethin as close as austin would have somethin growin! Gotta keep my eyes open next time im up there.

Devo, I think that little unIDed Tiger cross is prolly Rosanna. Looks all of Rosanna except the leaves are broader. The one off orange leaf is curious too...

Lisa, the "red tiger" came from Groves thru David Meade. The two are good friends I hear and consequently a lot of David's stock is from Groves. See a lot of variability in this cross. BTW Ive got a number of plants you've made comin to me from Mike Keihl this week. Sharon Plummer told me of your Bill. Royal Red. I hear its a show stopper!

A lot of my plants are starting to show signs of age. Heat burn got to a lot of them when I moved and my growing conditions werent what they were when I lived at home. Now that I got shade cloth up on my 11' x 8' apartment patio things should get better!

Cheers everyone!
