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

Re: November 2017 - Crassulaceae
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!

C. pseudohaemispherica at Anenous Pass
A 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 macrorrhizaMike T

Re: November 2017 - Crassulaceae
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?.
