Thank you Diane (tu) The second question, yes they can be propagated from flower spikes - it looks as though yours has developed pups. This can be quite a good method of propagation, a flower spike laid on a gritty compost mix may root and develop babies from the small leaf bracts on the stem. So ra...

I have some questions about some of my Echeveria. One question relates to the first two Echeveria - are these flower spikes or new rosettes?

Do we have photos this morning?

They are follicles, that's interesting as I have never had them on my plant & hadn't realised they produced them. Can you do abetter shot please. It's a first for me in about ten years of growing this plant. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/858/28950736757_fdc89d9920_b.jpg Ceropegia woodii seed p...
