Re: Tylecodon singularis advice request

Re: Winter is coming
There are actually 2 imbricata plants in the pot, Ray. One I grew from seed, it spent its first few years with winter protection; the other was acquired when a friend tired of it growing outside in his garden. Many years of being completely unprotected. They survive it rather than flourish in it.

Winter is coming
The flower buds on Crassula tecta give a warning that winter is coming. They were right. This was the view from the window this morning, looking down at the garage roof. Some of the Opuntias and Echinocerei in the cold frames look to have a coating of snow. The hardy Sedums have somewhat more, as ...

Re: November 2024 - What is flowering for you this November?
So it's monoecious not dioecious like many Euphorbias. Do different plants give you male and female flowers at the same time?

Re: dioscorea elephantipes
I've always found that with Dioscorea elephantipes seedlings the caudex naturally develops on the surface, and doesn't grow below the surface. As it grows, it develops a (more or less) flat face resting on, not below, the soil surface. I haven't successfully germinated other Dioscorea species, so ...

Re: Crevice planted trough
Conophytum obscurum has pink/prurple flowers Mike. I didn't see this at he time! Can you email me the photo please? The yellow flowered one is the bilobum photo - the captions relate to the following photo. I've emailed you the one that I have as obscurum (better definition than the forum version)
