Re: Anyone grow Dyckia/Hectia?
I have a clone of F. bicolor ssp. bicolor which flowers most years but I cheat and overwinter it indoors. For me even F. bicolor ssp. canaliculata suffered badly in Dec 2010 and has only just regrown to it's original size. It took me a couple of years to find Ochagavia carnea but I eventually got a ...

Re: Delosperma cooperi
The colours are fantastic on that plant Jim. There was one a similar one on Ebay that caught my eye recently called Fire Spinner.

Re: Soehrensia formosa
I've had a large plant since 2010. The label says it's former owner grew it from seed in March 1963. It's still healthy but it hasn't flowered for the last 2 years. Could this be because it's in an area that I now keep heated to 12c? I also have 3 Lobivia Formosa ssp. bruchii (or has it changed agai...

Re: Umbilicus rupestris
It still survives in my garden in the south Pennines from seed kindly sent by MikeT a few years ago. Only had one plant flower and it was tiny compared to plants I've seen in Cornwall but it must have set seed because I keep spotting the unmistakable navel shaped leaves which give the plant it's name.

Re: Aeonium davidbramwellii
Well done Tina Aeonium seed are a challenge that I've never cracked. Freshness of the seed may be the reason.
