I bought this little gem from C and D plants earlier this summer. Its Mammillaria patoni.

Nice one, Rob!

Echeveria harmsii:

Adromischus cristata

Astrophytum myriostigma tricostatum again.

Solanum pyracanthum, no its not succulent, but it has these crazy spines. Everyone should have one.

Whaaaa?! Rob, that is a crazy cool plant.

Doesn't look real... more like some crazy spiny plant sculpture!

It is real, and it has no tolerace for a dry pot. I am in zone 7 and it can grow in my yard. When it gets bigger, I am planting it out.

It screams “STAY AWAY FROM MEEEE!!!”

Lobivia ‘Rose Quartz’.

Parodia leninghausii

Adenium somalense var. crispum

Wow, some really interesting flowers here!! I can not come too often or I'm bound to start buying agin. Beautiful!

Ha, since I've been coming to this forum, my wallet has been getting more and more empty!

Mike, so true! Same with stopping into garden centers, always temptations.

Totally agree SLD and my plant collection is constantly growing. Though the chill in the air reminds me to think about what is around the corner.

This was earlier this month. This is a Easter cutting that was mixed into my pot of CC's, seems to be happy.

Pink powder puff - a new plant I got recently. I think it's pretty cool, besides the very cute blooms it folds up its leaves at dusk!

Aztekium valdezii is at it again

***Ha, since I've been coming to this forum, my wallet has been getting more and more empty!***

SAME Here SLD...

Alothough I'm More into the NON Prickly Stuff, My Crown of Thorns is the Ony Prickly thing I Have, I Bought More TC {a Red} Cacti and a Big Flat Sliver Thing, that I must take a photo of.....

A few new ones on a rainy August morning

Same plant as the one above full view

Mammillaria pringleii

Euphorbia cylindrifolia

A couple today, Astrophytum capricorne

Echinopsis subdenudata open in the morning!

Adenium hybrid

Wow, SLD, that colour!

Very nice, SLD! Definitely one to try propagating any branch pruning you do.

It has a very long stem that I want to whack back. I'd like to try grafting with what I prune off. I have to look for a nice fat plain old Adenium to try grafting it onto :-)

Aloe aristata

Crassula falcata doing a swan impersonation.

Well, I was waiting for this Astrophytum myriostigma flower bud to open so I could post a photo, but when I went to take a look this afternoon, I found this fellow chomping away at it.

I could see his little mandibles working away.

Very nice picture, but the result of the nibbling was no doubt not nice. Grrr.

A good chunk of the flower bud was already gone, so I just left him to have at it :-(

Second wave of flowering today: my two absolute favorites bloomed. I will post the others in the gallery like last time. Flowering is almost over, still waiting for a few first timers and Big Maude. She hates to flower, but some of her offsets aren't as reluctant so I'm hoping for the best.

This is one of my Tricho hybrids from Poot's House of Cactus. I called it Crushing Orange, but it is much more pink this time. Still very lovely. Reminds me more of a nectarine this time.

Two Crassula from this afternoon:

Euphorbia sakarahaensis

This plant was posted in another thread. Here is a later photo with a cactus in the background.

Crassula capitella sbsp. thrysiflora

An end of summer bloom on my little Astrophytum asterias

I love Astrophytums. They just keep getting flowers all summer long :-)

Ceropegia linearis var debilis

My plant needs a serious trim. If anyone wants cuttings for postage, give a holler.

That is one crazy flower Paul!

Interesting colour, SLD.

Today Obregonia denegrii is making a rare appearance. This species is doing much better since I put them in a shady spot.

SpanishFly, I used to have one of those. I never got to see it flower before I fried it. I guess it can't take full sun even here. Live and learn.

My Crown of Thorns is Still Trunddleing Along...

Would LOVE Some Seeds from Him But at This Point I think I'm Just Dreaming.....

Aztekium hintonii in bloom today. A mature plant on its own roots.

Huernia zebrina variegata trying to hide its flower from me...

Well, wouldn't you be shy with that BO?

My new baby: a teeny tiny Huernia zebrina. In flower, but no BO at all (not even when I stick my nose in it)

ConnyNL - love that astonishing bloom.
