I especially like the one on the bench to the far left. Great brown color with the bluish shading, and no spines! LOL! You have a very nice collection...some really big ones! Congrats on getting them though your summer. You did better than I did! ~Amy

Congratulations, very nice plants! Is a Leuchtembergia principis the one in the background? How big is it?!

Looks like alot of aloes mixed in. You'll have to post pics of them. You have some very nice healthy happy plants.

Yep! nice little collection there. I like your "old man" how old would he be?

CP

Very nice collection!
Thanks for sharing

The secret must be that you are watering the plants with the liquid of the dark bottle in the left corner.

I like the collection but it needs more Cacti.

Lol only messing, the succulents look fab

Thanks for all the nice comments. That brown one is a fast grower, that pup there is only one of 24. When friends come over they all want one, so unfortunately, I have none to trade.

I obtained the Leuchtembergia principis about 6 years ago, it is now 12" tall and 14" wide.

The old man cactus is older than 6 years, when I first got it was in a 2" pot, and I used it in the orginal succulent dish arrangement that I made. Part of that orginal dish was one of those cactus (to the left and right behind the old man) that they graft the red/yellow/variegated tops to. Well the top died, but the rest of it if you look close has grown up through the cracks of the pinic table and weaves it way through the other plants.

That miller lite definately didn't make it.

I have a son in Phoenix now ( just moved from Tucson ) --- He says summer is over when it is under 105F for more than 2 days in a row !! You are lucky you survived summer!!!! Nice plants & a fine selection of bottle species !!

Next week it is to be under 100 ye haa! It will feel like heaven here then. Temps are nice in the evening, where you can actually enjoy the outdoors again. The bottle species must really like the lower temps as they are starting to pop up more and more around the backyard.

That species looks to be a Labatts Blue. Lord knows we have enough of those around here.
