Nil13 where did you get your Hildewinteria colademonosis (monkey tail cactus)?! Its GORGEOUS!!! I have been looking for one FOREVER!! When i looked online as a last resort, they only had seeds for sale.......and I havent grown ANYTHING from seed yet except for fruits and vegies......so I was scared to try. Did you grow yours from seed? Or cutting? Thanks for the help! And sorry to go off topic! ;)

I got mine at one of the Huntington Gardens' plant sales as a hanging basket. It's still just a baby, but this year it is really starting to go off. It's pushing out 5 new 'tails'.

If you contact them through ISI, you might be able to get them to send you one. They do mail order sales depending on availability. If that doesn't work let me know before the Fall Plant sale and I'll grab one for you.

Thank you SOOO much Nil13!!

SO nice to see many succulents are still popping flowers.
My Flying Saucer has one more bloom to share.

Love that 'Flying Saucer'! Just got one of my own at the Huntington CSS sale.

Okay-this is going to sound very dumb, but I have this cutting I bought off EBay with various other cuttings and I have no clue what it is, but I think it's blooming! Please excuse my profound ignorance on this one!

Echeveria 'Irish Mint' is a Renee O'Connell hybrid having similar recurved leaves as E. runyonii v 'Topsy Turvy'.

This Huernia schneideriana has been flowering for me for almost a month now! Still lots of buds forming too. :D

Off topic, only have non succulent blooms, but a Parodia bloom coming soon.

My Pleiospilos nelii / lithops / living stone, bloom.

I grow this with my succulents, a "dusty miller" they call it. I don't think it's a succulent though.

New growth on my pesian shield

Sowngrow- I have some..it was labelled crassula 'capitella.'

Thanks Neil!

Robin

Neil your Echeveria cante is GORGEOUS!! I bought one this season labeled that but its a bluish purple color and i believe its leaves have a little rounder middle......now i wonder if thats what i really have lol ill have to post a pic for you to see tomorrow in better light to get your opinion if you dont mind pretty please?

I agree, those Echeveria cante flowers are awesome!

Thanks Ewwmayo!

Lilbit- sure..maybe do it on another thread. I don't want to de-rail Rina's thread. She would be angry with me and make me think it's Friday again!

Lilbit- don't forget cuzz I really wanna see it now!

I wont :) and sorry Rina! I'll post when i get home from work! :)

and on a new thread :)

LilBit
don't worry - not "my" exclusively...(only reason to start new thread -especially to ID- would be to get noticed)
Neil
Lol...so easy to get you to behave >-)
Rina

Neil, please post a picture of your Crassula capitella. When I looked it up, the images I found showed more compact forms. Maybe mine wasn't getting enough sun, before I moved it to where it's at now.

Ok SownGrow I will on a new thread 4U

That really is a beautiful Cante. Great growing Neil.

Anacampseros rufescens

Sowngrow- Ya know..i have tried growing these many times..even managed to propagate some and then one day they all turned to mush. I still don't know what I did wrong. I treat them as I do my other 3 or 4 hundred other succulents (all doing well). Maybe their care is different? maybe they just don't like me?

Neil, I've read too much water can turn them to mush. It's not a personal thing! ;) They're the easiest succulent to grow from seed-just slow. I've got tiny ones in several pots, in between other types of succulents, where I scattered the seeds, not really believing they'd grow.

Robin

Robin Sowngrow- I thought about over-watering. Then, I ruled that out. I have other "mimicry" type plants and lots of lithops and the like growing here and there and they've all done very well. Growth and Blooms regularly from all of them. Despite horror stories about them, I don't find them to be difficult at all. I haven't lost one yet. yet, every type of Anacampseros I've acquired goes south : (

I do recall though, that these particular plants were obtained from the same source. Do you think it's possible they were not healthy to begin with?

Neil, given your experience in growing, I'd say it's entirely possible the plants were not healthy when you acquired them. This is the second time these have flowered for me. At one time they began to soften somewhat and I was concerned, but they bounced back. I can't attribute that episode to anything in particular.

Robin

Thanks Robin, I like the way yours have trailed over.

You're welcome!

Clustered Buds..Pachyveria exotica 'powder puff.'

Dorstenia barnimiana (making a bud and leaf simultaneously)

Dorstenia cuspidata I think (making buds between the leaves)

Echeveria elegans?

My Lewisia blooming for a 3rd year.

aztcqn

Beautiful Lewisia, I like the white flowers (I had few of other colors but didn't make it thru last winter - my fault! But have few seedlings from the seeds if they make it!)

Ben

I hope you'll post photos when the buds open. D. barnimiana is really cute, looks like a fern uncurling...

Rina

Will do! :-) and my thoughts exactly!!! D. barnimiana's flower is about to flip up to the correct orientation today; they start with the head down and the stem first to burrow through any dirt above.

Speaking of buds opening, here's Stapelia cedrimontana, a very hard plant to grow in FL, because it doesn't like too much heat or humidity.

I've actually had to remove a few stems from this plant in the past few days, some of them are yellowing and dying off, probably from the intense heat and 82 deg/ 100% humidity nights... but the flowers are going strong! :-)

Whew. What a great thread even for a lurker.

I know some of you who grow this Crassula never have a problem flowering it. I have waited several years for this day! Oh, and I guess someone wanted his/her day in the sun and has changed the name. I've always called it Crassula falcata, but now I guess the correct name is C. perfoliata.

It's not a jade. It's an Echeveria flower.

I know this one is on my topsy turvy, the Jade is outside and the blooms aren't quite pic worthy just yet.

Orbea variegata

One day I'm going to have to get an Orbea - the flowers are just TOO cool.
