August 2014 Colourful plants.

[MikeT]

A few more to add before the end of the month.

Aeonium 'Kiwionium' (=Tricolor' = 'Kiwi')

Apologies for the flower stems...

Cr ausensis titanopsis

This Crassula finished flowering a while ago:

Cr fragarioides

Don't tell Colin about the pot colour for this Crassula...

Cr tecta

Then some different colours from some Echeverias. First one isn't quite black, despite it's name

Black Knight

. Next one's altogether lighter

Compton Carousel

[MikeT]

...more Echeveria variation yet; this one's a pearl, at least in colour

lauii

lilacina is similar

Tolmanensis X pulidonis has a little more blue and red

but not as much as pulidonis

The new leaves on Titanopsis calcarea have more colour than the older ones, same texture though

Then I suppose I'd better be PC and include a token cactus...

Echinocereus pectinatus

After long deliberation, there were an awful lot of pictures, I decided to go for a combination of good quality picture and plant, which cut the choice a bit. So, I chose Izrddr's Aeonium from his long line of pictures loaded up at 6.46 on Saturday 23rd August, the last picture of that set. I liked the light on the leaves, the quality of the shot and the condition of the plant, I also am very fond of Aeoniums but that did not influence my choice. Well done Izrddr.

Well done Izrddr, but was it the 6.40 set Liz?

Hi Tony, yes you are right. I was not paying attention again.
