C and D's Succulents
C and D's Succulents
We decided to start a dedicated forum for our succulents rather than have them spread all over on separate posts.
Please comment or post more photos if inclined.
We love cacti, but definitely have more non-cacti succulents.
Denise grows mostly Euphorbias, agave, sansevaria, crassulas and other caudex forming things.
I (Craig) grow mostly cacti, mesembs, haworthias, othonnas, tylecodons and other uncommon things.
Hopefully we can get Denise to post some stuff, she is a little nervous about computers other than e-mail, which she does like crazy.
The next three photos are of Dorotheanthus bellidiformis, which is an annual. I bought a mabel mix last year from Mesa, had good luck growing them, and crossed all the pretty ones together for this years seed crop. So I'm not sure which ones are hybrids or true species anymore, except the two toned ones, they look like the true species from last year. There will 100s of more flowers from this pot.
While were showing striped flowers
here is Acrodon bellidiflorus
And a unknown Oscularia species, we have been calling O. caulescens
This is a neat creeper in our rock garden
Braunsia maximiliani

Dear Craig and Denise, your flowers are lovely, I really like the Braunsia, and Oscularia they are superb.
Dorotheanthus make a beautiflul show, I planted lots in my rockery last year so they brought lots of colour to the garden, as they died off the portulacas that self-seeded from the previous year begun to grow, so now they've taken over from where the Dorotheanthus left off.

I like Tony's name. I'm not sure that Ian's plant is different, only a little diffferent lighting and angle.Tony wrote:Im calling mine Oscularia primiverna

Ian's plant is a Braunsia, maybe B. apiculata
We got out Oscularia from the Gates Cub sale, the sellers were calling it Crassula "Red Cross"
Denise liked it, I said its definitely not a crassula, but a Mesemb of sorts. Later I asked Steven Hammer if he knew of name for it, and Mike W. asked him about on a separate occasion, Steven would only say it was an Oscularia.
So if you have the O. primiverna, and you are from the Gates Club, maybe you have the true name.

Here's another batch of great mesemb flowers
Royal Flush, with a different colored flower, just starting to bloom, looks like it has more regular P. nelii flower color mixed in.
Purple and white.
Trichodiadema densum and Delaspera esterhuyseniae
Jacobsenia kolbei flowering
Finally opened. Didymaotus lapidiformis, one of top favs in the Mesemb Family.
And the Dorotheanthus pot just gets better every day. These are annual mesembs of several species, and hybrids, mostly D. belldiformis.
