Somebody said ‘There’s only one DE’

This statement isn’t really true in this context as the powdered form and the granulated form (eg used in cat litter) have different properties.

A photo of my plant for comparison. It survived last winter outside on my patio in a container so it's fairly hardy.

This looks very much like a plant I bought at a garden centre a couple of years ago. It was labelled Pachyphytum Dark Red, clearly a false name. I think I have subsequently identified it as this plant: http://www.crassulaceae.ch/de/artikel?akID=177&aaID=2&aiID=B&aID=1265 Pachyveria 'Blue...

Lovely, succulent plants! I find they get eaten by birds if put outside. Does anyone else have this problem? Mike Yes I do have this problem also. I had a lovely Delosperma in a large pot on the pavement at the front of my house where I grow a few succulents. Over the winter it got completely pecke...

I think number 2 is Echeveria 'Fabiola' (E. purpusorum x E. derenbergii)

I shelter some of my plants in a cold frame but this one has got too big - it will have to stay in that spot for the remainder of it's days! I got the plan...

Just snapped this photo of my A. Velour, it's been outside on my patio all winter soaking up as much rain as we get. I protected it with a fleece bag during 'the beast from the east'.

How hardy is A. ferox?

Saw one for sale recently and wondered if it has any chance of surviving in a sheltered spot in a garden on the south coast.

i have a plant that looks like your 1st picture, graptopetalum paraguayense minor I saw a plant labelled G. paraguayense minor for sale at a garden centre last summer, I picked up a fallen leaf which I propagated, then by chance this spring I planted it (plant 1) in a bowl next to a cutting of Grap...

Hi juster, the same thing has happened to me. A plant I bought last summer labelled as E. chihuahuaensis has just produced the same yellow flowers. My plant looks the same as yours, wonder if they came form the same place? I got mine at the Sussex Zone show.
