October: Mesembs other than Lithops

[PhilipPV]

Titanopsis calcarea 'Fulleri' managing to flower in spite of the recent lack of sunshine...

[WoBo]

Struggling with some health issues (just minor ones comparing to what I had to experience last winter ...) I wasn't able to pick some appropriate mesemb pics earlier. But last week I had given a talk on winter and frost hardy cacti & other succulents at a local branch nearby, so I just have chosen a few photographs I had included in my presentation.

Continuing with Titanopsis, this is Titanopsis schwantesii:

Another highly succulent mesemb is Prepodesma orpenii.

Slightly more 'normal' leaves are presented by this Delosperma ashtonii, plus - more important - it's flowers!

With a little more srubby habit, Chasmatophyllum musculinum is flowering for quite a long time every year.

And now, we still have more than 9 hours to go ...

¡Hasta luego!

I have just put "Chasmatophyllum musculinum" on my list of plants for which to look out

Trichodiadema spines

Great macro!

For me the winner is Darren’s close up of a Trichodiadema.

[Darren S]

Thank you Mike. Much appreciated. I do have an idea for November and will put it up later today.

For me the winner is Darren’s close up of a Trichodiadema.

Are you nominating this nice macro?


If so, I agree.
