Pinguicula gypsicola Pinguicula gypsicola is a Mexican Pinguicula which switches between carnivorous leaf growth and a smaller succulent growth through the year. This plant is really neat looking, no matter which form it takes and over time will clump. In the carnivorous mode, the leaves become...

Part One

Hello everyone, I thought I would share with you some pics of my ping hybrids I initially posted on OCPS. First, P. laueana X sumidero I. Forma I - It as some laueana feature but not much ... especially not the red color. Pinguicula sumidero I X laueana hybrid par Shoggoths, sur Flickr...

I found a tray of Sempervivum that I had been given and forgotten about. I don't have any clue on the species, but I can tell you it is fairly hardy. These have been growing in this tray for 3-4 years with very little substrate, and are happy as can be. Our winters aren't to harsh, but they have...

Is anyone's colimensis still dormant? I got mine while it was dormant and made the mistake of planting it in a normal ping mix, where it sat motionless for about a month. Then I planted it in pure perlite and it still did nothing. It's got a couple of very small glandular leaves that are almost...

Bought this from a little one owner nursery this week while traveling for work. I asked the owner what type of succulent it was and she said, Europa. I asked her to spell it just in case I was misunderstanding her. E U R O P A. I said huh, it looks kind of like a jade plant. Yes, she said...

A couple of months back I received a few plants from a miniatree.com, a nursery in Tempe, Arizona. Patte Lanus works there and she set up a phyto inspection and got the paperwork ready for export up here to Canada. First up is Bursera hindsiana, currently in a 6" pot. I really like the...

I've been pursuing the creation of these little cactus oasis' lately, and have put one together successfully. Enjoy! This is my first succulent collection where I've potted multiple plants together: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sovetskjeff/9234999436/" title="IMG_2374 by sovetsk.jeff...

Has anyone ever compared "blue" to the description in Taylor? Particularly the traps? Does Taylor mention both? (I haven't gotten around to picking up the monograph yet, but it's on my short list). The two just seem SO different to me - is it me, or are the leaves quite different? I know there...

This is my 8'x12' greenhouse that some of you were asking to see. It has a swamp cooler, and reaches a max temp of 78 degrees, with a min of 60 degrees, vents and heating/cooling is all automated. There is an RO filter hooked up to a float valve on that trash can, with a mist system on a...

Got this ping from a guy I know at a herp expo. He gave me a container with two types of pings last fall. Unfortunately he did not remember the name of either one though he did know that they both were species. Well this one surprised me by blooming off and on all winter though it did have...

I hate these slimy, disgusting things! I've been battling them for a while now. On my outdoor plants... Okay, fine. I can accept critters crawl on them. But in my pots inside my dew terrarium? Now that I cannot live with. So far they haven't done any damage but its time for them to go bye-bye...

I planted these succulent pots on May 2. I'm pleased with the growth so far. We've had a very rainy May and above average rain. The hens and chicks will stay out this winter. But the other two pots will have to come inside, because if my IDs are correct, only the sedum in this first pot...

I need help identifying/confirming I.D. of this plant. It will be the first two pictures. http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/95833406@N05/ I believe its a potulacaria afra can anybody confirm this. Any input is appreciated Thanks Abel A. http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/95833406@N05/8882345639/...

So I recently purchased a P. colimensis that looks like it was just emerging from its succulent phase and somewhat stupidly stuck it into a standard Mexiping mix. It's been under lights on a 16 hr photoperiod and has literally not moved in weeks. I recently lifted it straight up (no roots...

Hello everyone! So I recently the Welwitschia mirabilis I ordered came in, and it was very much in need of a transplant. But it's fairly well known that these plants detest being unpotted. But I made up the media, and did it today, and took some pictures for prosperity. I really hope this...

My wants and my available-for-trade Hi there, all. I'm a noobity noob (not to plants, but to the forum) but I figured I'd start right off mentioning what I want for my eensy collection, and more important, what I've GOT. Not much in the way of CP's for trade, but I do have some groovy...

Hey, you succulent people! Errr, well, you people that love and collect succulents! This little beauty is an honest and hard-working hybrid. Or not. It depends on whether you lump or split Cremnophila and Sedum. Regardless, × Cremnosedum 'Little Gem' is a great plant. Read more about it at...

Hey TF members! Have you ever grew something and never growing it again or taking a long break from growing it? Of course, I'll start:) Phalaenopsis Orchids-Yup, that's right those "easy, beginner ones". Tried 5 times with different kinds at different times, they "survived" for a while.... then...
