Re: Succulents in decline?

You must be looking at another forum Terry!

Take the first 2 pages, 13 are succulents 21 are cacti.

Re: Flowers for Succulentophiles

I was going to say 64 seems incredible.

I have half a dozen Orbea variegata from different sites and that seems over the top.

Re: Flowers for Succulentophiles

I shall give it a go and see what happens. Mind you I moved house since then and the collection is somewhat smaller now. Plenty of interest though. Grass Aloes should really get the blood pumping..

Re: Succulents in decline?

Some years ago I did a trip round my Aloes which elicited a lot of interest but I think it would die a death now if repeated.

Re: Succulents in decline?

Eric, I just posted what I thought was an interesting Huernia flower but other than Ralph it got nil points as they say in Eurovision.

Succulents in decline?

Nearly every topic on the forum now relates to cacti. Are succulents out of fashion?

Mesembs get the occasional mention, Agaves and Aloes just a glimmer, Stapeliads, Euphorbias, caudiciforms virtually nothing.

Such a shame because fascinating plants are being missed out on.

In the dark

This is Huernia reticulata. John Pilbeam's book has this much redder but this variety is nearly black.
