Hmm, maybe it's time to stop constantly plundering my plants for cuttings then...
Hi Lindsey,
I had the frightening job of photographing the Crassulaceae section and so can add the Adromischus duo which won the class. Both are flavours of marianiae, which happily dropped their leaves all the way to and back from the show.

This might explain people's reluctance to bring Adros, and the light-fingered brigade!

Yes, that had occurred to me... but they are a bit more wieldy than a huge caudiciform
Ever hopeful, trying to grow plants from arid sunny climates in the UK!
Lithops, Haworthia, Adromischus, other south African succulents including Ceropegia and some Crassula.
I was surprised at the general lack of Adros on the nursery stands, given how easy they are to propagate from leaves. There were several nice specimens in the show, as in the photos above. I also remember a good sized A. mariainiae hallii gorwn by Michele Dell, which is one of the most difficult with it's very fat leaves. I grow that in clay pots.
