New additions .........

7 years ago

I do not add many new plants to my hoard often .... simply have too little space. But once in awhile I get weak or a generous soul bequeaths some new ones to me. Here are two new ones resulting from the first situation (I'll post others from the latter later when I finally dig my camera out again).

Lampranthus (seller didn't know which species unfortunately, so if anyone here knows ....)

I was pleasantly surprised that the flowers are fragrant.

Crassula pseudolycopodoides monstrose

One more from the too weak to resist category:

Cotyledon ladysmithensis varigata

And from the generous benefactor category:

Plentiful sections of Schlumbergera/Zygocactus -- the yellow flowered type

Sectioins of the true Christmas cactus Schlumbergera x buckleyi()

And two more to go later

What a fine pair, I know why you made space for them, I am a weird plant junkie, too.

Nice! The first looks like Lampranthus deltoides now Oscularia deltoides.

Where's the pic of the Ladysmithensis variegate? What? It doesn't rate a photo op?

Paul, that first one is Oscularia deltoides - such a great ground cover in SouCal. The crested Crassula is delightful - it's also C. lycopoidiodes v. cristata. I'll bet your plant is C. tomentosa v. variegata. The true Cotyledon ladismithiensis is pretty rare.

Twas in a hurry, Howard. The two above were easiest to get to. I still have several more I need to add to this post.

Thanks for the ID folks!

Q: Will the Oscularia ever get a bit of "trunk" like stem on it. I was thinking if it did ... even just a couple inches, it could make a cute pseudo-bonsai in a small pot.

Now the last two ... If this works correctly from my phone...

Both are from the generous benefactor category:

Crassula Marina

And what appears to b another Crassula (know I 've seen one like it before, but ID eludes me)

Crassula seems to be a favorite of mine. All are great plants!
