    The new conservatory is a great place for the few succulents I have. OK the Billbergia Nutans Var is not a succulent but it's a good spot for it and I have more Echeverias in the greenhouse, they may end up here too.

    This Euphorbia Trigona Rubra is a new 'Wikos' addition, I hope it retains it's red colour.

      Like the euphorbia Strongy, I've never grown any of the succulent Euphorbs.
      Much faster than cacti, I think?
      I dont know why we dont have a decent Wilkos in my town, ours is in the main town shopping center, and I avoid that place like the plague.:)

      Is the third plant from the left an Echeveria?

      I have quite a collection of Euphorbias now, many I have grown from seed. The E. Trigonas grow like wildfire as babies. They are very rewarding plants. The E. Obesa are fun too. I have several of those. They have a nice tartan look about them.
      You have some nice plants there. :)

        I did rather like the candelabra Euphorbia I saw in Africa. I presume not a straightforward project to grow them in the UK?

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