Hi everyone,
Should we also maybe have a Succulent flower macro competition? Lets also have a bit of fun? What does everyone think of the idea?
Cheers
Martin

Hey CP,cactuspolecat wrote:Bill, there are bound to be plenty of cold hardy succulents, particularly in the crassula group.
I'm actually curious about some cold hardy succulents to go along with my hardy cactus.
I have a sedum, a euphorbia and a couple sempervivums. Never hurts to blend in a few more

That's a good start Bill, there are probably some cold hardy echeverias too. What Euphorbia do you have growing? Because I live on the other side of the world, I maybe shouldn't make too many suggestions, as what'd work for me here may not work for you. I hope someone up there can help you.
Outdoors we can grow Sedums, Crassulas, Semps, Echeverias, Aloes, Agaves, and of cacti... a few Echinopsis, some specias of Rebutia, and Parodia (Notocacti) are hardy enough.

I have Euphorbia myrsinities in my garden.
I welcome all suggestions, even from the other side of the world
The winters where I live can see temperatures of 0 degrees. I really hate putting something in my garden only to have it perish so along with suggestions and some studying my garden is growing.
Heres a couple pictures of my semp's (don't know there proper names). Thats my Cylindropuntia whipplei protecting the little semp.
