    Lars' outdoor grown Kalanchoe are in synch with mine, grown inside in the midwest. The unnamed one is K. sexangularis with small yellow flowers, while K. synsepala synsepala has whitish flowers.

    Titanopsis calcarea had another bloom after the first three, and there is another bud coming. That one never even noticed it was transplanted into gritty mix, it just soldiers on.

    Pleiospilos nelii soooo slow to open up in the cloudy weather we have had. I cannot wait...

  • 9 years ago

    How do you care for your Titanopsis? I like these a lot. My lack of attention doesn't work with these.

    My Titanopsis hugo-schlechteri is continuing to have a couple more blooms! Cute flowers.

    Aloebot - They need a lot of light to stay compact and bloom well. I water and fertilize mine regularly and they are in a mix with low water retention. They leaves 'close up' more when the plant needs water. Do not repot when they are dormant in the summer.

    I need one of these things. But I think I'm finally out of glass door space for winter! I may have to take over the cat space and that's never a good idea. I really like the Titanopsis hugo-schlechteri, but really any titanopsis will do.

    Lars' 2nd plant is Morocco Daisy, Pyrethropsis hosmariense, aka Rhodanthemum hosmariensis. "Morocco Daisy" is easier to remember.

    The othonna looks like O. clavifolia.

    Echeveria minima. I got this about three months ago from Home Depot (or Lowes, can't remember, one of the big boxes, anyway). It was miserable in its little peat-ball 2.5" pot, but I repotted it into gritty-ish mix in a 3.5" pot.

    Such a pretty flower, and it has two flower stalks going! I think it's happy now, inside and under lights for the winter. Even if it is a little confused about what season it is...

    Red Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Calandiva' finally blooms :)

    The rest of the Kalanchoe gang :D

    Reposting one of the blooming jade - all buds open now:

    Useful Pictures · More Info

    If anyone could identify, that would be really great. Hyped because these are my first flowers, although because of this gloomy weather, they may never open fully.

    I bet it will still be blooming on Christmas day!

    I am usually posting pictures of flowering Aloes, and today is no different!

    Aloe dorotheae -

    Graptosedum 'California Sunset' in the tree stump planter -

    This 'pot' looks pretty good this year! And you can see several Aloe 'pink blush' blooming in the background.

    And this year I have 10 Kalanchoe luciae blooming at the same time!

    Some have a head start on others.

    And I did pick up all the lovely red berries from the palm trees. They look pretty on the tree, but make a mess when they fall.

    Photo #3 - very nice stump-pot arrangement! And aloes in background, just as all other parts of your front garden. I was wondering what those red "things" are - red decorations for Christmas :)

    At last: Pleiospilos nelii!

  • 9 years ago

    Oh my Dinie, that is truly stunning!!!

  • 9 years ago

    Beautiful, gd!

  • 9 years ago

    I am very happy with it. I bought it with the bud just showing, and I wondered if it would bloom in my cold room. I watered it a bit, very carefully, a few times. It is in peat still, I hope to switch it to gritty as soon as spring arrives.

    Almost missed this epiphyllum, since it has been raining, and I've been staying inside

    Another bud on it bloomed a few days ago, but I did not see it until it had wilted.

    Aeonium in front yard: (orange flower is an epidendrum - not a succulent)

    This photo shows a Calla Lily blooming behind the aeonium with buds not yet open:

    Some kind of Kalanchoe:
    Flowers are just starting to open.

    Pleiospilos nelii and Faucaria tigrina. I almost missed the P. nelii, but I got home from work just in time!

  • 9 years ago

    Sue, you have a second bud coming on P. nelii? I love that flower.

  • 9 years ago

    Leaves of Pachyveria 'Belle Blue'.

    rina_Ontario,Canada 5a thanked mfyss
  • 9 years ago

    Lars, I like the purple flowers of the bromeliads in the back. Do you know the species? It looks like they can handle a lot of light.

  • 9 years ago

    Gdinie- yes, there's another bud coming on that P. nelii. Four other P. nelii I have are also showing two buds!

  • 9 years ago
    last modified: 9 years ago

    Aloebot, the bromeliad in the back is Portea Petropolitana Extensa, from Brazil, and it can handle a lot of light. Here it is in the back yard (photo from June) with the epiphyllum in the photo, blooming at its normal time

    This bromeliad grows and blooms profusely, so much so that it is now in several parts of my yards, and I am having to throw out some of the extra plants. They get to be six feet tall and are not suited for indoors, as they are huge plants. The ones in this photo are offshoots from the original plant I got.

    rina_Ontario,Canada 5a thanked Lars
  • 9 years ago

    Really nice plants! A bonus is the flower in June between cactus and Aloe flower peaks.

    Two of my m. gracilis fragilis has been blooming on and off for a month. New buds are still forming.

    These are JUST about to bloom after having inflorescences since the summer time and of course I am going on a week-long vacation now. But I snapped some photos before I left; hopefully they will still be blooming when I get back.

    Haworthia pygmaea.
