Superb Crassulas, Sylvia!! :notwo: Many thanks for sharing. Brightens up a chilly or gloomy (depending on where you live) UK January.
One puzzle though... :???: I thought 'Blue Bird' flowered in summer.... not sure where I got that idea, my plant has not yet flowered here.
Ever hopeful, trying to grow plants from arid sunny climates in the UK!
Lithops, Haworthia, Adromischus, other south African succulents including Ceropegia and some Crassula.

Nice result (tu) (tu)
It's one of my favorite specy in this genus but the cultivation here in the south of France is quite impossible due to the temperature too high in summer :cry: :cry:

Wow. That C. mesembryanthemopsis is a corker. I find it very hard to grow. In habitat it grows buried in sand up to the tips of its leaves, but I don't recommend that...

Your Crassula brides bouquet flowers are wonderful Sylvia. Any growing secrets for the lovely blooms? The flowers on my earlier post seem very humble!
