A Rare and Colorful Pachyphytum Cornelius Succulent



Pachyphytum Cornelius grows to about 25 cm high.






I put this one together with Flap jack/Paddle plant's pup.  Its mother plant is outside and has shrinked a lot due to lots of rain, it probably will die, at least I saved the pup this morning.



Thanks for looking (^_^)

Echeveria Lola




First I found the ad on GumTree,
then I saw the same photo on eBay.
Not the first time I saw ads and photos of Echeveria Lola.
So I had to buy it.

So the package arrived today. Let's open it.


This one is 15 cm across / wide.
As big as my palm.






See the offsets are droopy.
The next day it was still in this box, I haven't pot it and the offsets are "standing" again.


Then I moved it into a pot.
 Isn't it pretty?



Thanks for Looking (^_^)

Hello Peeps <*.*>
I received these bunch in a mail today.

They look odd to me,

Have a look...


I guess they don't look too ugly {grin grin grin}

This one got root.

It is a cutting, calloused and ready to be planted.


Love or Hate them?




For sure they look MUCH BETTER in a bunch.

Rosettes are flat and grow to about 12 cm wide.  
Plant grows to approximately 80 cm in height, might branch to 60 cm wide.  
It has yellow clusters of flowers in summer.


Photo taken today 6.July.2016
It has been very windy since last night.
That is why the bottom leaves are a bit blurry.
I moved all plants to undercover area since yesterday because of the rain.
This one is still small, stem is still thin and not branching yet.
It is Winter here, the bottom leaves are now
yellowish and droopy.

They propagates from cuttings.


Hope Spring come sooner so all of my plants will look healthy again.

Echeveria Imbricata or Echeveria Gibbiflora? Help me name the plant


I bought this plant from local DIY shop which sells tools (all tools, plants and garden supplies).
It is about 19 cm wide - as big as my palm {Wow!}, impressive!

But I am not sure what is the name because it has no label on it.
The label only said "The Gardeners Succulent".

 If it is Echeveria Gibbiflora, it will grow up to 40 cm across,
which means mine is still growing!
but...
If it is Echeveria Imbricata, it will grow up to 20 cm across,
so we will see.


I asked one of the online plant sellers,
she is kind enough to tell me that it looks more like Echeveria Imbricata to her.

These are photos of Echeveria Imbricata:

Photos above are from llifle



This is Echeveria Gibbiflora
Photo source worldsofsucculents


This is my plant...
which one do you think?
If you know the name, please let me know...thank you {smile}

Basil Flowers and Unknown Flower





Basil Flower.



Coriander Flowers



Ever seen coriander flowers?


Do you know that they are so tiny but very pretty? 




Here is a little bit close-up photo.



And this is the best close-up photo I can take.
See how beautiful they are?

If my cake mojo ever came back, I will make sugar flower version of them.
But maybe not as tiny.

My Echeveria Black Prince Succulents



I got these as a bundle purchase from a private grower
who sells me Sensevieria 'Mother-In-Law's Tongue' Succulents.





It is Winter here, they don't look that good.


They came with flowers but they already dried,
with LOTS of leaves underneath the flowers.

I cut them and now I am waiting for new growth.
We'll see if I succeeded.


And these little black prince pups are from my good friend.




Thanks for looking (^_^)
