Just got into leaf? That's late. Mine are dropping their leaves as I type and heading for dormancy...

Hi,
There are some spectacular plants in this thread. This is rather smaller.

Ah, 'turning leaf' means it is shedding it's leaves? I thought you meant it was just growing the leaves.

In a desperate 11th hour attempt to get a 'proper' plant into this thread, I managed to find a cactus trying hard to be a caudiciform......

Thank you Izrddr, I'm glad you liked it.
For next month, I thought it time to give the macro artists a chance so the title is 'Buds'. They could be developing now or perhaps you have some good ones from last year.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.
