I'm starting to think my Gibbarum pilosulum should be fatter! More water in the growing season, less when dormant, you'd think I'd have leanrt that by now

Stomatium alboroseum and friends

Do Neohenricias count?

Hybrids between them?

Gibbaeum geminum, johnstonii, and pubescens

Faucaria tuberculosa

These are great!

My wife calls these "pretty butt" plants.

Best,

John B

Cheiridopsis peculiarus X 3
At the start of the growing season, the sheathed leave pair breaks out of the dry skin and unfolds. Then the mature leave pairs have two new leave pairs grow from the center, one pair is a leave pair that will sheath over next summer. The other leave pair will host the flower that flowers in early spring, then that leave shrivels and dies. The unmature leave pairs that have only one leave pair coming out of the center at this point, and will not have a flower, as seen below. I forgot how they clump, some how extra leaves get added when older.

Here is a Stomatium in the rock garden

And another Faucaria, in the rock garden, I'm not really sure on the species names on either, any comments?

The Cheiridopsis season is starting with C. purpurea.

And a curious Gibbaeum that doesn't exist any more, G. tischleri.

And my very own G. pilosulum, considered difficult in this country.

Great stuff Ian, nicely grown.

This unknown Cheiridopsis was volunteer in the pot with some other plant I bought several years ago. It has very nice color. Any thoughts on the species name ? Hybrid ?

Cheiridopsis verrucosa

Ilhenfeldtia vanzylii

Glottiphyllum nelii
