They do fry in the sun! But to answer your question yes they are growing in cracks on the north side on an eight inch tall wall. They get plenty of light and but stay a little cooler than at the top of the wall. Those that creep up to the top look awful by the end of the summer. They do recover in t...

A little up date. Things, as most of you know are cool and slow but, it makes the show last longer that way. :D Echinocereus viridiflorus http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/1167_5716867843_5e6e916b73_z_1.jpg Echinocereus reichenbachii ssp. albispinus http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/1167...

It's gets even better when you can get up close and personal with them!!

Your Delosperma nubigenum looks like it's fat and happy indeed. :D The other group of succulents that I like for cool, moist, well drained sights are the Sempervivum and Jovibarba species and cultivares.

Andy Yes DG is right. I am toying with the Idea of building a raised scree bed for alpine and high elevation desert natives. I have most of the materials but I am still mulling over the best method of irrigation. Drip vs mini-misters vs soaker tubing vs a sub-surface reservoir that uses capillary ac...

I't hard I know! But I feel it's my duty and the least I can do for all of you.
