Cotyledon Orbiculata "Grey Ghost" Succulent



Today, first day of Winter! and I received my 10 cuttings of Grey Ghost.
So excited about them, they are Grey Ghost succulents.
They have a kind of "powder" covering the leaves which give them grey-ish look.

01.June.2016
Not sure where to plant them yet.  I ordered 10 cuttings and received 12, not complaining!


Might put 1 little cutting on my cute Tortoise Planter {smile}.


Cheers!

2016 New House New Plants...and LOTS of Them! - ORNAMENTAL PLANTS

Now this section will be dedicated for ORNAMENTAL Plants.



I have "baby" Hydrangea Arborescens "Annabelle".




They look very "sad" at the moment.
Pretty sure it is because of the soil and weather,
it's almost winter now where all leaves will fall off (soon).




White Tulips - store bought.


so pretty {heart}






Tulips
from bulbs but after so long they are still not grown yet
I guess they are dead! We'll see!




Ranunculus
from lots of bulbs, only ONE that is growing
what went wrong?  I have no idea.


Yucca
we have two yuccas


Silver Dollar tree


Lomandra
we have a few



Purple/Dark burgundy Cordyline





JUST Succulents!!



Crassula Obliqua




I got them as a gift from my SIL.
Once bunch still in a pot, hard to remove.
Pretty succulents.
This is where I start my succulent collections.



These are from my SIL too.
The leaves are a bit ruffly.
Pretty {smile}


Kalanchoe Luciae 'Flapjack'
Bought them off GumTree from a private grower.
I knew them from my SIL who happened to sell some of her plants during the weekend.
I haven't got what I bought from my SIL yet, I will have more of these type.
Looking forward!



Aeonium Arboreum 'Zwartkop'
Same as Flapjack, I got them from the same seller.
Also the same story how I know them,
from my SIL (again) {smile}
I will have more once I received the one I bought from my SIL.
Looking forward!


I don't know the name yet.
Got this and the "babies" underneath (about 10 of them)
from the same private grower too.


The ground cover
Also got this from the same private grower,
only because she didn't have change {laugh}.



Now some store bought succulents










Over the weekend I have ordered some,
can't wait to receive them next week.

Will put an update on their names (above) and more photos.


At the moment, I am happy to be able to blogging again!

Have a great day or night, wherever you are {heart}
