Kalanchoe rhombopilosa - a dainty, fragile plant from Madagascar:

That’s a real beauty Diane. What kind of temperature does it need?

It survives down to 5C, Ali, but would probably appreciate a few degrees more. This is a descendant of my first plant obtained at least 30 years ago, very slow growing (for me, anyway), and tends to shed leaves at the slightest touch!

I shall have to look out for one of those [emoji3]

Have just sent a picture to you of my plant Diane a piece I had from you in 2006!!

Some South African and Namibian habitat Crassulas. First are 2 plants of Crassula columnaris near Grootgraafwater Then C. deceptor 20-30k N of Steinkopf and C. ausensis 20 k NW of Grunauand the same species 8k S of Aus C. tomentosa near Lorelei mine Then C. sericea 6k SW of Sandberg

Same site, 6k SW of Sandberg, this is C. rupestris commutata C. deceptor at Domorough Pass Still Domorough Pass, C. sericea again and C. umbella at Paradyskloof Some at Beauvallon: C. brevifolia C. plegmatoidesagain near Holgatand the same species in the Alexander Bay lichen fields

C. columnar prolifera (the previous single stemmed plants are probably this subspecies also) near Holgat Also near Holgat, C. haemispherica C.sericea namaquensis at VlakmynStill at Vlakmyn, C. tomentosathen at AnenousbergC. alstonii N of Skuitberg

C. pseudohaemispherica at Anenous PassA rather unusual Crassula, C. aphylla, W of Kosieberg. It's a short lived annual, growing and flowering in water after rain in grit pans.Then something more attractive at Areb, C. coralline ssp macrorrhiza

I dont know exactly the operation of the competition, but I think today I should say the winner not?. In my opinion the winner is Mike T with the shot : Crassula coralline ssp macrorrhiza
Now he should say the new theme, not?.
