Re: Flowers for Succulentophiles
In September I acquired this Kleinia galpinii 'Orange Flame' (labelled as just Senecio 'Orange Flame', I had to search a bit to find what I hope is the correct species name) which was already budding but has so far only in the last week or so opened its first bloom... We don't see many Asteraceae on here so I thought it was worth sharing.

Re: Flowers for Succulentophiles
Here's the whole plant. Not a great photo because the light is grim here this afternoon, also the foliage is still showing the after effects of firstly being outside at the garden centre and then being sprayed with a liberal quantity of SB Plant Invigorator, neither of which have done the natural glaucous bloom any favours. It's also in rather generic garden centre compost - I was hoping to wait for the flowers to finish before drastically repotting. It will be interesting to see how it grows out - the stems under the foliage seem to be somewhat succulent, not dissimilar in style to those of e.g. K. neriifolia.

Re: Flowers for Succulentophiles
In spite of the gloomy weather Titanopsis calcarea 'Fulleri', which has been half-opening most of its flowers for days now, seems to have decided that this is as good as it's going to get...

Re: Flowers for Succulentophiles
Stunner!
Growing in Nottingham for the past 4 years and recently found my way to a Nottingham branch meeting. A few plants on a windowsill has very quickly turned into a greenhouse full!
Attempting to grow a range of turbinicarpus, coryphantha, escobaria and several other cactus genera. Tylecodons, pelargoniums and conophytums keep me occupied in the winter and an ever expanding number of gasteria live under the bench.

Re: Flowers for Succulentophiles
Euphorbia clivicola growing happily on its own roots so I'm not sure why its sold grafted, endangered in habitat so I should start propagating it, maybe next year.
Euphorbia unispina with bright flowers, wish I could get seed.

Re: Flowers for Succulentophiles
An interesting looking plant, does it lose "bits" easily?
Do they ooze the white sap as most Euphorbia do?
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Re: Flowers for Succulentophiles
No, if its unhappy it just goes a bit wrinkly, never loses joints.
Yes to oozing not bad like unispina, I spray with water to stop this but unispina actually seems to produce a toxic smell .

Re: Flowers for Succulentophiles
A cutting of my Thanksgiving Cactus is in bloom, the original long gone.
