Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!

I'm impressed, especially by the crassula picture.
From experience I know how difficult it can be to take such pictures in the field.

Hi Alan,

Welcome to the Forum and thanks for the great shots of Namaqualand.

I'd say this (second) Aloe is A. claviflora. The horizontal (as opposed to erect) inflorescence is quite characteristic.
Cheers,
Colin

That is all the succulents but I have some non-succulents. This is Ferraria crispa.

Lovely pics, Alan.

What flowers!

I love the little red Mesembs among the big fat squodgey green ones!
Happy carrier of Forby Disorder - an obsession with Euphorbia obesa.

NB. Anyone failing to provide a sensible name for me to address them will be called, or referred to, as Fred.

Hi Alan,

Think we should make Ferraria an "honorary" succulent.:)
Cheers,
