Very fine pix. That second pic literally glows.

I hear ya regarding bringing them in. Not only cooler these days but the rain is picking up and we all know what cool and wet means to C&S.

Your plants are beautiful! Are they all in straight perlite? Well grown!

Barb

Thank you. They are all in a very gritty mix. I use chicken grit, sifted perlite (approx. equal amounts) and some sifted turface. Keep them outdoors as early in Spring and as late in Fall as possible.

they are all so beautiful!!

You sift your Turface, Rina? You must also sift your perlite then?

You seem to be getting more sun and/or cold than I'm getting here in Oregon. None of mine are putting on any color yet. I assume I'm just a few hundred miles south of you, but our clouds have returned and our cold has not.

Whats in that second photo? Is that a Sedeveria? It's a really nice color.

Let me know when you bring your plants in. =)

I'm hoping for maybe three more weeks yet, think that's too optimistic?

I sift turface with a kitchen sieve, just to get rid of finest particles. Perlite too, I made a large 'sieve' using window screen & often fill it with perlite and rinse. That gets rid of dust. Sometimes I sift it to keep only bigger particles, bug screen is quite fine. Hve been lucky to find some large bags of large perlite.

Nights have been bit colder than I like :), few nights around 40*F, would be nice if they stayed closer to 50*F. It has been raining more too. Daytime temps are below 70*F.

Not quite sure about #2, it is from a bunch of leaves I received - no ID. Color is probably even better than I managed to get, it is almost amethyst. #6 is Sedeveria 'Harry Butterfield' that grows very easily; it got those reddish tips only within last week.

I think you have at least 2-3 weeks, I am watching temps in your area and they are quite a bit higher! (anywhere between 4-6*C...) There is quite a bit of rain predicted in next few days, have to watch that - just as tj said.

Gorgeous succs, so much WOW in those colours! Especially #2

Rina - Looks like pretty much a week of rain for me, you're right. I'm planning on taking off my shade cloth tomorrow. Going to try and get my succulents all coloured up as well!

A week of rain coming for me here too.... Time to start playing"watch the forecast"!

Plants look great Rina!

#2 might be a Graptoveria (graptopetulum?) Debbie. Looks kind of like one of mine, which I'm guessing is a Debbie.

Leslie

Thanks, I am thinking it is grapto- something :) too - they are not easy for me to ID. I received handful of leaves, plants all look very similar.

Glorious color, best time of the year to enjoy all the lovely succulent colors!

Frank, Thanks...It is also interesting to see how one plant will color up, and the same plant next to it doesn't same way. These jades are less than a foot from one pictured in original post, and have only thin, red 'rims':

Here's my gollum, it's very vibrant today! The cool weather is helping.

Kevin

WOW! What a color. Almost fluorescent. Mine is darker, with red tips only.

Thanks! It's one of my more showy plants at the moment. =)

My ovatas are far less exciting, I think yours are much more colourful right now. Will try to get a photo tomorrow when it's bright out.

Here are my Crassula ovatas. On the right is the one that I completely defoliated in the spring. I'm really happy with how the leaves turned out!

My succulents have been steadily losing color... It has been wet and rainy for the past week... Hoping to get them outside a bit before I need to take them in permanently...
