what yucca is that your growing, some of my small yuccas that i made from root cuttings this summer dosnt look to good either, if its too wet they might get some fungi on the leaves during the winter, but its nothing to worry about its gonna dissapear in spring.

and as for whats growing :), well im trying the get most of my plants to go dormant because many of them has to be stored in a cold dark room,
my crassulaceae's are also in growth right now, and one of them is about to bloom(C. multicava) :)
my Kalancoë blossfeldiana is about to flower too and it only just dropped its last flower from last year this weekend.

Hey, gents!

Jeff, all of my Crassulas are in active growth, as well.
Same with my Kalanchoe orgyalis, and my two Aloe 'California.'
Christmas Cacti are blooming, and those not blooming are growing new segments.

My Portulacaria afras are growing new leaves even as they shed old leaves.
It's a sad sight...but that's Winter for ya.

Just dropped a Yuccu in the ground out back...mayhaps I'll go snaps a pic ;)
Be back,

Josh

"All" my Jades, which consist of only two small plants and a handful of cuttings, are in active growth as well. And my little fittycent Aloe 'Dapple Green' has sent out another flower spike, the third since I rescued it from Lowe's earlier this year. My Euphorbia milii cuttings are also putting out new leaves, and one of them even has (I hope I don't jinx it) a few cyathia buds. And the Kalanchoe beharensis 'Fang' which suffered an "accident" stripped of many leaves even sent out a branch in defense (or 'defence', as they write in other parts). Oh, and my little ZZ plant is sending up a new leaf stalk as well.

As Shelley said, "If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?"

Jeff -

It's a real mixed bag for me...

In my sunroom, it is a mixture of growing strongly (e.g., pachycormus, boojum, tylecodon, jades...), to growing not so strongly (pelargonium triste and cotyledonis, euphorbia milii, adenium obesum, euphorbia horrida...), to suspended animation (other euphorbias, agaves - except I think my Agave verschaffeltii minima is trying to unfurl a bit...and it is really hard to tell what my pseduolithos migiurtinus is doing...it may be developing flower bud and it looks plumper), to totally dormant (bursera, commiphora, cyphostemma, adansonia, etc...).

My garage has some cold and pissed off cacti, a Yucca rostrata, and an Aloe plicatilis...

Oh, yeah, and all my Othonnas are going like gangbusters...even my O. arbuscula has informed me that it is actually NOT dead.

Pretty much everything. It's been hot the past week, 80 on Saturday. We've had a couple of 42 nights but that hasn't fazed any of the plants. One of the sans is blooming in the garden, the blue agave is sending up offsets in the walkways, jatropha are all blooming, the pachys have new growth & one has buds, even the chalice vine is covered with blooms right now. I'm hoping we don't have a freeze this year.
Stay warm!
Tally HO!

My jade cuttings are putting out roots while my established jades are finally getting taller. A few Sansevierias are sending up new pups, as is a Gasteria liliputana. My hybrid Huernia has bloomed for the 4th time since July and it's in a window facing northeast!

My Sansevieria, Pelegoniums, Crassula, Aloe, Kalanchoe, anything from Africa and coming into flower. Any one living near me are welcome to come over and get cuttings or plants. I have some to be given away. Willing to give to Churches, Schools, Fund raising for Charities,etc. Norma

The fastest growing is a E. 'Crown of Thorns,' millii, started as a cutting in 1982/3. It's also producing flowers, but this particular millii never is without blooms.
A few other Kalanchoes are growing, (NOID) and a green Afra.
Holiday Cactus are in bud and/or blooming. Toni

Haworthia are growing and start to show flower stems. The bulbs are starting to show leaves, and they will be great in March. So will the Apple blossoms, Faucaria are in flower and open in the afternoon on sunny days, all of my citrus are getting ready to come off the trees. Rhipsalis are in flower and some are setting seeds. I have been repotting everything, and it jump starts them. The Kalanchoe look great some coming into flower, Tylecoden, and Cotyledon are in growth, but so is the parsley and lettuce. Even the bush oxalis are growing and I just put in the cuttings last month. The Tricodiadema the orange, and the white one are doing well. The only problem with this species is that it spread seed all over the place. I found an old one hidden in the old stawberry pot, the strawberry plant was pushed out of the pocket, this plant had a nice caudex forming, about the size of my thumb, had a heck of a time getting it out. It was perfect for a bonzi pot. Merry Christmas to all of you, Norma

Just teasing, would love to see some pics!

I'll spare you the full-size pics, and the copious pics of Crassula.....
and maybe we can even kill two birds with one stone here, by identifying the plant below.
I thought it was a Yucca, but I tossed the container....

This is the way, way back part of my yard, down by the crick and the old oak,
nestled amongst dried stalks of Rose Campion and blue rosettes of Woolly Mullien...
