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

That'd be a great idea I think Martin, I'm sure many of us have pics worth showing off.

Sure -this time I can vote as I don't have any succulent pictures of my own.

Give me a little time to get it rolling.

Yep, I'd more than gald to vote also.

Might even get some ideas if the succulent is cold hardy enough

Bill, there are bound to be plenty of cold hardy succulents, particularly in the crassula group.

Hey CP,

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 lots of Stapeliad, Aloe, Lithop, Gasteria, Ephorbia, Pacypodium, Adenia, Haworthia, Crassula, Mesem, Tylecodon and Conophytum photos to share (to name but a few).

CP,

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.
