Well here is a round of pics from some new developments in my succulent collection. 1. Crassula 'calico kitten' (just got these cute tiny plantlets today. 2. Ceraria Pygmaea in bloom...the blooms are tiny and hard to see but I was thrilled to see it bloom for the first time  3. Gymnocalycium Asterium with a nice bloom bud on it (first time blooming for me) 4. Rose Quartz cactus....if you look hard you will see a tiny pinkish bump on one..this I am hoping is the begining of a bloom bud

I love the new Crassula. That's very pretty. The Ceraria bloom is visible! I know you're thrilled about that! I'm glad that your cacti have bud bumps. I hope that they develop! |

Wow RR. You sure have an abundance of catus/succulants. Can you give us a count on how many you have? Where do you get all your pots? Pretty soon your going to have to open a shop. LOL Your very knowledgeable and I appreciate that. I know if I have a question its going to be answered. Yesterday a friend gave me a different variety of hens and chicks. They look like little cactus balls. Not prickly, but have a web look over the top. Kinda cute. Thanks for sharing your pics. I always enjoy them. |

Thanks for the compliments on my plants I love the hobby and it brings me such joy when I have to stay home all the time. At present I have 70+ plants and that does not include my Jade leaf trays or my echeveria leaf bowl However most of mine are small plants and wont produce much for another year yet. I only have a few that are nice mature plants.I study a lot and love to research what I grow..I also ask a lot of questions to people I consider experts in this hobby. I am changing my collection around a little that is why I offer some for postage at times. I have certain kinds of plants I want to collect and only so many can be in the house over the winter. Right now all my big Jades and Portulacarias are outside along with a couple smaller succulents like the tetragona and jelly bean sedum. But it all will come in for the winter..(oh my..LOL) |

Two or three plants isn't a collection. Now, 70+, that's a collection! I still don't know what that unnamed succulent is that I have. I put it here in this section but so far no one has mentioned it. |
