Hi guys,

Has anybody in cultivation the variegated form of parryii truncata
How hardy it could be in ground and unprotected (I live in a 8a zone) ?

Thanks for your tips,

Franck

Good news ! You can now check out our exotic garden website > http://exoticatolosa.e-monsite.com/ < Just click on english flag to get at once the whole topics in english =D> For those who would take a virtual trip into our yard :arrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIGfyGujuR0&feature=youtu.be ...

This plant appeared here in Europe a few years ago. It is said to be an Aloe aristata X haworthia hybrid, but not sure. Some say it could be hardy to 10F. Mine died at 5F but offsets survived. Watch out the snails & slugs who love it

OOoops I made a mistake I guess. If an admin could slide my thread to succulent identification topics ? Thank you.

Oh I know what you're thinking : ' unnamed cultvivars will remain unamed' ! :evil: I even know that sempervivum change time after time turning their foliage color in accordance with season. But please have a look at those pics in my website garden : :arrow: http://exoticatolosa.e-monsite.com/album/c...

Hi cactiholics guys,

Hi guys,

Has everyone ever seen that kind of form of yucca aloifolia ? Tell me if that's the case !

Franck

Thanks for your help. So, go ahead with O macrorhiza. I was suspecting it could be that one.

Franck

Nobody round there

Hi,

I'm not an expert on opuntiads. Should be easy for you with the flower !

Anyway what you can't see is that the pad had no long spines on inferior part of it (only on 2/3 upside). General habit of the plant is pretty prostate. Thanks for your help !!

Franck

Both are nice
Chollas are just awesome And what is to say about opuntia macrocentra blooming ..
Thanks for the trip guy !

Franck

Hi Peter,

Some cylindropuntia viridiflora have those kinds of habits, don't they ? On the other way I'm not sure blooming color does match ??

Here after winter 2011/12, down to 10F, all my tricho died (except huntingtonianus or so called identified very blue with black spines, in microclimate just next to the east wall of my house) : - pasacana - tersheckii - schickandenzii - spachianus died outdoor in ground, with no protections on them....
