Re: C and D's Succulents
Oh thank you I'll have to ad this one to my personal 'want' list along with the program plant list, maybe I'll have luck and find atleast one for myself for a good price
Re: C and D's Succulents
Not something you will find. Not unless you can take over a mesemb collection from someone. They are basically never offered for sale. You need to grow it from seed yourself if you want one.

Re: C and D's Succulents
Even worse than that, I have tried seed from the US and Europe, with zero results. Even worse than that, Steve Hammer said that his plants weren't even producing seed lately when I asked him.
Jade plants are for sissies.
Re: C and D's Succulents
I have the same bad results from sowing. But I had the same bad results with sowing Diplosoma and Dinteranthus. And just kept on trying and finally succeeded. I am sure I will succeed in growing Dactylopsis from seed, eventually. Luckily the seeds are offered occasionally and are not expensive.
Re: C and D's Succulents
No, those sweet little white fingers are not Dactylopsis digitata.
They are Gibbaeum pubescens. Which are easy from seed, and have great purple flowers in the Spring.
Dactylopsis digitata were the last of the Ultra Rare Mesembs for me to finally get, they seem easy to grow once you know how to grow winter growing mesembs.
I have 2, and they would not produce seed last year, but I will keep on trying.

Re: C and D's Succulents
Okay so they are Gibbaeum pubescens ??
I'll ad that to my list then, looks like something kids will enjoy growing and learning about in my program : )

Re: C and D's Succulents
And don't worry C&D I'm sure you'll get seeds this year! Or next!

Ah, surprising. I was convinced it was Dactylopsis.C And D wrote:No, those sweet little white fingers are not Dactylopsis digitata.

Re: C and D's Succulents
Aw. Guess I'll have to wait till my friend sows his Gibbaeum mix, he actually already has dactylopsis sprouting at the moment But they are just sprouts at the moment oh, well just gives me stuff to look forward to!

Re: C and D's Succulents
The Othonna cakilefolia is flowering!
after learning more about this plant, I wanted another one so I can get seeds.
I sent a message to my friend Carl Frederick, who I have been trading seeds with, and lo and behold he had extra plants and seeds !!!
and he sent me a bunch of other cool stuff and seeds!!!
Weird claw like leaves protect the inner bloom several different leave types Small purple flower another try for a better photo
