February 2024: Adromischus
Looking back over the last five years, we have had very few months for a single genus of succulent. Nevertheless I am going to choose one we have had before, the genus Adromischus. I believe this group of plants has become even more popular in recent years and I look forward to seeing the diversity of species, varieties and forms that people are currently growing.

Re: February 2024: Adromischus
Adromischus halesowensis ??. I rescued this at the back end of 2022 from Roy Mottrams greenhouse. Not in the best condition but is improving. Sadly I could not read all the field data on what was left of the label. Its in a 7inch clay half pot. I don't have any more Adromischus.

Re: February 2024: Adromischus
There aren't many offers so far, so here is my A. cooperi. It is a fast grower and frequently outgrows its pot, and has done so again. The first photo is the plant today and the second is the flower stalk in July 2021. Last year there were three stalks. The flowers are truly insignificant, one might say boring - but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Rod the extrafloral nectaries add something to the flowers taste wise.
Caveat.....don't lick your plants if you have sprayed with something.

Adromiscus marianaein close up and really close up
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.
