Cacti and Succulents

My A.striatula has come through happily too, despite being in a small pot.

Maybe the head gardener sorts it out for her?

it look like this

They will be pulled up and put away for the winter, all are in pots. I'll post as it k its together Wayne

Time and effort of growing them on. Then storage during dormancy, sorting out the viable flowering sized ones, packing, transport etc.................To get the rarer species means using a specialist supplier who'll grow them on a much smaller scale.

Given them 2 good sprayings with soapy water, will get some meths when out shopping .

Very nice

35F as a nightime minimum? If so, I'm sure you could grow many types of Opuntia, just avoid the ones that come from the tropics.

Keith, the third and fourth plants on the right hand tray are Echeverias.

Could be mitriformis, or have some mitriformis parentage.Trying to ID an Aloe, especially without a flower is not simple.Aloes hybridise freely. And many clones doing the rounds are of unknown origin. Also, a lot of Aloes grown in less than ideal conditions (too much water, too little light)...

I've planted them this year in J Arthur Bower’s cactus compost. I see plants like it. Before I used 100% peat based compost plus sand. And the covering - stones from the seashore.

It's recovering, I told her everything you said and she has been just watering at the sides of the pot and letting it sort of soak across or whatever the technical term is. Wahoo! Thanks all.

This is Mrs Woos

Cheers Zig have a good time drinking smoking and lobbing bottles

Delosperma Cooperi, Strongylodon. I see on one of the pics, Sea Thrift has crept in at the front.

Its the kind of scent that is not that great if you put your nose in the flower, but when its in the air on a warm night its quite pleasant.

Nice, love that Daisy, actually I love most of the Daisy family .Here in Northampton we have entered the Britain in bloom celebrations (is it 50 or 75 years?), Ha! all we have are some planters filled with Petunias hanging off some of the railings at road junctions, not seen 1 hanging basket...

Thanks to all for your advice

It can always be a continual work where larger pieces are removed and chicks from other plants added to the picture as and when it is needed.I like your suggestions of indoor and outdoor versions with differing succulent types, gives me another project if nothing else.I certainly didn't...

Do you have an open patio to grow them on??They like a well drained, open mix.
