then cut up the 2 plants into a Big bunch of cuttings to root.
They should be ready this Spring.

Looking forward to seeing those for sale in the Spring! I've alway wanted one but couldn't find one for sale.

Very impressive and thank you for the detailed information. So are the ones that made it plants that are more opportunistic when it comes to water needs? Is your plan to transplant these now?

Awesome. How did you care for them? Are they covered or out in the open? Makes my failed attempts seem way to agonizing after seeing this here in So. Cal.

My guess is lithops ruschiorum nelii.

I'll take a stab at the naming game. For the first one, your 'Paint Ball', 'Space Balls'.

When I first saw it I thought of the Hostess Sno balls. You my name would be Cherry Sno(w) ball.
A nice large old specimen. Haha

Ok, can I just say I LOVE that adromischus cross!!! Red Coral crossed with Little Spheroid...both plants that are sooo cool. Is this just in your collection Craig or will this be for sale? Love to see the other ones. Pictures yet?

Really interested to see what conos you will have for sale!!

My first impression is pedilanthus macrocarpus. but it appears to have large leaves still attached to it, so its got me stumped. pedilanthus macrocarpus does not have such large leaves. Perhaps some other species of pedilanthus... like P. bracteatus? My guess is pedilanthus too....bracteatus with t...

Congrats and Merry Christmas! It looks like those plants have found a good new home. Enjoy. Nice write up, by the way. I can hear the enthusiasm.

What happened to yours, Rosemarie?

Nice one GeneS!!! Wooohoooo. How fun to compare.

Fabulous!!! Thanks for doing the 5 and a half year comparison. It gives me hope that my little gems will grow up one day and look as good as yours.

Thinking about sowing some gasteria seeds myself. I just harvested some and wondered what was the best time of year to sow. Looks like you did it in Oct. Could it be done year round or should it be in the cool season?

Did any of these make it to adulthood by the way? Picture?

Thanks Gene for all of your work to get this show up and running. Your photography is such a treat.
I had a great time at the show.

Yes, I will be there on Sat. An hours drive for me.
