My first Show

14 years ago

You know through the years I been to a lot of different shows. Reptile shows, collector toy shows, coin shows, and gun shows..........none prepared me for what I saw this morning! I had a great time but I did learn I need to have a plan next time. The place was packed, shoulder to shoulder the whole time I was there. I did miss a couple of plants that I will most likely be kicking myself over that I did not grab when I first saw them and were gone by the time I was able to navigate back to where they were. Unfortunately I was not able to get any pictures of the show itself, but here are some pictures of the plants I did get. I need names on a couple, so as always any help is appreciated.

Kalanchoe species - I lost the tag somewhere during the trip.

    'and yet another' is an ice plant. Do not know the exact species.

    I LOVE your Haws! I want them!

    I have a E. suzannae. She has little seed pods coming out. She's an easy grower.

    I also love your Euphorbias. I have a soft spot for them. :) Your Kalanchoe looks very happy, too.

    I love plant shows. I'm lucky to live where the biggest flower show is held once a year, so I know the excitement! Great haul!

    Sweet Lord, that Kalanchoe is to die for! Really nice finds.

    Thank you everyone for the comments and ID help.

    I found the tag for the Kalanchoe in the back of the jeep this morning. It is has elichka said Kalanchoe synsepala. I also have been able to track down one of those plants I missed, name that is, Kalanchoe luciae 'Fantastic' the other plant was some kind of Euphorbia with red stripes.

    Still looking for names of the others in this post, so if you think know or know the family please chime in. : )

    Good haul you have there! Very interesting to look at. The Trichocaulon officinalis looks like it's pups are pushing it over! Boisterous little things! I'm sure you'll be well prepared for your next show.

    You made some excellent choices. Nice plants--congrats! Your 3rd "unknown" looks like Oscularia deltoides.

    Very nice, beautiful plants.

    I never made it to Austin for the show this weekend. I went to the plant swap in San antonio Saterday, and came home with a car load and I been taking care of those plants all day. I did get 6 different agaves and some cactus from the Rio grande and some Tenaza trees, maybe 30 plants all told. I was disappointed that I missed the to big plant shows in Austin.Now I feel like salt has been rubbed into the sores. NOT.

    I was hoping to see you at the plant swap because you were kind of thinking about it.....But I knew exactly where you were. I almost made the same choice but I had been to the show 3 years running. It was one of those weekends where I wanted to clone myself. The Ladybird Johnson wildflower center was having their show also on the same day. Choices are damn hard to make!!! Then the Natural Gardener Nursery gives 20% off if you wear a LBJ sticker on your shirt. DANG...what's a girl yo do? Hemorrhage money for plants everywhere one goes. San Antonio was safer place to be.

    Wantonamara, I know how you feel! I was planning on trying to do both, but after the Austin show I ran home to drop off these plants. When I got home the wind had picked up so much I had to move plants around here at the house. The neighbors had a tree split from the wind. By then it was after 2 so SA had to be skipped. : (

    My first plans did not include the Austin show, I was going to skip it and hit the cactus show in SA in a couple weeks. But the wife has planned a get away trip that week so you know how it goes. Happy Wife, Happy Life. Hopefully I will make the next swap in SA, and have more to share. : )

    Glen,

    I'm happy for you - you got to your first show and you got a lot of nice plants for a sizable addition to your collection.

    The Kalanchoe is K. synsepala v. synsepala

    The shrubby small plant with purplish stems is Oscularia deltoides. If you look at the leaves of it closely you'll see why it has that specific epithet.

    That indeed is a Mammillaria.

    Good haul!

    Wow, great haul! Joining the 'i'd love to get one too' sentiments on that Kalanchoe... What a beauty!

    Rosemarie, are you sitting down for this ;-? I might really be id'ing a plant - please mark this date on your calendar ;-)

    The plant right above your Euphorbia horrida looks to be 'aizoaceae oscularia deltoides'. Great ground cover plant and more!

    aizoaceae oscularia deltoides [?]

    {{gwi:534013}}

    No, just Oscularia deltoides.

    It's in the Aizoaceae Family.

    Really like the Kalanchoe. O. deltoides seems to be Lampranthus deltoides now - I kept mine with the old name, but just for fun. They grow in the Western Cape (boland) region, which is a winter rainfall region and soil is slightly more acidic (not that the plant does not do well in any soil). They make nice flower clusters (purple). Nice ground cover and I have one in a hanging pot, works well.

    Really nice finds.

    Looks like you had a great time at your 1st show, Glenn! Always a thrill to bring home cart-jumpers! You made out like a bandit! I know what you mean about the ones you miss! I would like to find one of those Kal. 'Fantastic' plants! =)

    John, thanks...I was sitting down. Woohoo! Funny, looks like several peeps had the ID on that one-in varying degrees. =D Name seems to go back & forth between Oscularia & Lampranthus. Nice to see this plant is recognized more these days!

    The O. plant in bloom (click pic for larger view):

    {{gwi:534022}} {{gwi:534023}} {{gwi:534024}}

    I had not seen Kelly Griffin's Aloe 'Twilight Zone' before, so had to go look it up! Found it is an x haworthioides hybrid. No telling what else Kelly has mixed in there! Unusual, for sure. Seems it's been around for at least a year & a half...one that was tissue cultured for production. Nice plant!

    The Haw after that looks like Haworthia limifolia ssp. ubomboensis.

    Double the pleasure on those 2 Gasteria. I have some like it & don't think I've nailed down their ID yet.

    Yes, Mammillaria...I'm thinking M. hahniana. At least it looks like one I had tagged as such (check it again when it blooms):

    {{gwi:534025}}

    GRIN has Hoodia officinalis for this one you have as Trichocaulon officinalis (if the latter, should be officinale). I don't know if it has been reclassified recently.

    I thought I was onto something when I found this photo of what they said was Discocactus bahiensis (see link below) that looked like your cactus blob, but it didn't pan out. Drat!

    The unknown Euphorb looks interesting to me, variegated as it is. :)

    That one clumnar cactus might be a Cereus or something-cereus...and it looks like it's starting to crest on the one.

    Sorry, I don't know the others & have to get back to chores & looking after sick dog, Shadow.

    Nice haul! Every time you go to a show, you learn something for the next time!

    Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:533992}}

    Rosemarie

    I knew the Aloe when I saw as I had seen it at a nursery before a few months back. I did not get it when I saw it the first time and when I went it was gone. NOT THIS TIME! : )

    I think your right about the Haworthia and the Mammillaria. There was another Mammillaria there that was blooming that looked very similar to the picture you posted. I just opted for the larger of the two.

    As far as the Trichocaulon officinalis, that's how it was labeled but when I was entering it into my data base I came up with Hoodia also. I thought I was crazy at first so it's good to know you came up with the same.

    Now the little knob I think I have tracked down to Coryphantha elephantidens?

    The Euphorbia I talked with the vendor I got it from and they could not nail down a species for me, so for now I guess it's going into the mystery box. I had never seen it before so I had to have it of course!

    Now my I am trying to figure out how to make the next show next week, I think maybe I might be able to get away for a couple of hours before we leave on our trip. : )

    Glenn,
    I think you have something there on the Coryphantha eliphantidens (maybe even a subspecies of that). Watch it as it grows to be certain. =)

    One I forgot to mention...the Euphorbia mammillaris f. variegata you have should be E. fimbriata f. variegata.

    Glad you snagged that Aloe! I know the thrill of coming across a plant you want after a missed opportunity!!

    I hope you're able to get away for more treasures before your trip!
