Re: November 2013 - 50 Shades of White
Can't believe I dare entering photos into a competition, but anyway, here we go.
Not sure whether this one here is even allowed? Massonia pygmaea, flowering at the moment. It is ever so slightly scented.
And this here is my favourite Gymno: G. matznetteri; I may have posted this picture before.

Little white flowers plopping all over a big tree - 5 or 6m tall. Hyazinth-like scent. Regards

Re: November 2013 - 50 Shades of White
Not sure I have 50 shades, but I've found a few. First up is an off-white
..and more leaves, wax this time Dudleya brittonii
Then a greenish white (this one isn't my plant, Ceropegia saundersii at Harrogate Show)
After spines/wool and flowers, this one's a leaf
Crassula tecta..and more leaves, wax this time Dudleya brittonii
