August 2019 Blooms

Please show us your August blooming succulents.

Not growing cacti or more 'exotic' succulents, I do not have much blooming. Almost all haws I have bloomed or are blooming, and same with small aloes. Both yellow and red Euphorbia milii are blooming continuosly - I posted all of those photos many times before. Euphorbia decaryii has few blooms:

Gasteria 'Little warty' and Adromischus cristatus have flower spikes but so far only buds.

    I think It's fire cracker sedum. I got it a few years back and lost the tag.

    A Great Morning in the greenhouse. Caught these before they fade later today. Always wish they’d last more than a day.

    Happy Saturday-still glad I'm getting some blooms. These are the prettiest flowers from this plant so far. Last week, a bud from this plant just shriveled up and died. I had to take this with the phone because the camera didn't catch the yellow gold/pinks.


    'El Capitan'

    Dave, on the contrary, I love those flowers. Always have a hard time getting them to bloom. I have some buds forming so wish me luck! And the plant is gorgeous!

  • 7 years ago

  • 7 years ago

    What is that 'nothin' special' plant with them yellow flowers?

  • 7 years ago

    Parodia leninghausii. Common.

  • 7 years ago

    Noto, the flowers on your cacti are to die for!!!

    So many beautiful plants and flowers on this thread. Over here the flowering season has died down a little: temperatures are way too low for the time of year, and it looks we've had our summer of 2019 :-(

    Luckily it didn't stop the last flower this year of the Selenicereus validus to appear in full glory last week

    And a newly acquired Huernia striata:

    The rarest bloom i own : e.senilis


    rina_Ontario,Canada 5a thanked Stefan
  • 7 years ago

    Rina i don't know if this counts or not. These blooms never opened. I feel i didn't provide something for the plant which it needed. Maybe the excessive heat? I can shelter from rain and direct sun but, i can't control the outdoor temperature.

    Neil

    Anything colorful counts :)

    I had Anacampseros rufescens with buds that didn't open - OR you just missed them. They open for a short time only in afternoon and then close again.

    Very nicely potted!

  • 7 years ago

    Good to know that. I hope that's all it is : )

  • 7 years ago



    Just another one. I think it's telephiastrum variegata. i hav another one deep brown i think that is the rufescens?

  • 7 years ago
    last modified: 7 years ago

    Very nice ! I see you like many different containers.

    IIRC, rufescens has dark olive green leaves (on top) but they get darker reddish in sun; underside is usually dark purple. (I think it has more flowers...)

    Telephiastrum has dark green or brownish leaves on top, back usually reddish. I only know this from reading about, have only 1 and I think it is rufescens...

    ETA: I better double-check to make sure I didn't mix them up, lol.

    HERE and HERE

  • 7 years ago

    Neil, beautiful photos! I especially like the one with the blue pot.

  • 7 years ago

    thx Lazydog : ) and Thanks Rina for the links.

  • 7 years ago

    Here's another one i have and it finally opened with a couple of blooms. You were right Rina, they opened when i'm not looking at them!


    I don't know which variety this is . Not sure if telephiastrum and sunrise are the same.



    Closer-up shot of the bloom below.

    Copiapoa hypogaea


    Aloe perfoliata


    Tylecodon schaeferanus


    Dasylirion longissima (?)


    Carnegia gigantea


    Aloe gerstneri (I think)


    Aloe reitzii


    Sprekelia formosissima Aztec Lilly

  • 7 years ago

    my Favorite is that schaeferanus! Exquisite coloration on the Sprekelia.

  • 7 years ago

    Neil, in the right light the Sprekelia has sort of a metal flake reflection. My point and shoot just can't pick up the real look.

    My trusty little Hildewintera 'Humkes Röschen' (Humke's Little Rose):

    Surprising find when I got home tonight. These are Aloe juvenna or jucunda, but a bloom stalk indoors on a west window. First time bloom, don't know what color to expect, will post update.


    Nice surprise.

    Its not either of those. Those are smaller, and have sparse spikes....

    This is a hybrid i think...\

    Real one at marimurta botanic gardens...

    rina_Ontario,Canada 5a thanked Neil
  • 7 years ago

    Here's my 1 Aloe blooming, a NOID, rather hybrid homely, cost me nothing as it was on the 'Free' table at a meeting.




  • 7 years ago

    I like the opalescent glass. Did you put a hole in it?


  • 7 years ago

    Aloebot-- of course! all my containers have drainage holes. Diamond-Core for glass and most ceramics, masonry drill bit on others.


    I did like the carnival glass too but, honestly not very keen on using glass as planters. I've had this one for about two years and it's done ok. Not great, but ok, which is why i don't do much glass with plants as it does not "breathe."


    One has to be mindful of this and put in an extra large diameter drainage hole or several of them. Another consideration is to keep it out of direct sun as the glass does not shelter the soil but rather heats it up. ------I think i just went off-topic, better i go before Rina beheads me!

    Super, Dog!

  • 7 years ago

    Thanks everyone... wish I could take credit, but this is one I bought at the Connecticut Cactus & succulent show last spring.

    I like growing from seed or small seedlings, but I'm not getting any younger, and sometimes I splurge on a large plant :-)

  • 7 years ago

    Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri my older one, it has never significantly bloomed for me.



    Surprise, it looks like a painting. Humm....
