Lot of shrubbery there. What is the 4th one up from the bottom in part2?

 

[Gigantea]

That would be a Crassula cv. 'Buddha's Tower'.

My Tradescantia 'kitten's ears' has flowered. I've been waiting for this for two weeks.

Crazy stuff. Lucky you're able to grow them outside. I have Aloe saponarias blooming right now too... in the winter, I just chuck the plants into my unlit basement and they go 3 months without light and pop right back in the spring. I find that as long as you don't contribute to any new wintertime growth, you rarely wind up with sunburn because the older tissues are still full sunlight-adapted.

Hey, when you get poked by a cactus it is merely the cactus giving you a kiss. We all know that love hurts.

Flowering Faucaria Ssp.

 

[Cthulhu138]

Funny how similar Tradescantia flowers look to the bog plant Cuthbertia graminea.

 

[catrus]

mato, that would be me right now. Someone gave me some five foot cacti in five inch clay pots and there was nothing to stop them when I re-potted them.

If it's stiff spined you need to invest in a good set of leather gloves. Still handle carefully though. For softer spined "glochids" ones, use paper to prevent dislodging.

Excellent collection. What are these two plant names?

xvart.

 

[Gigantea]

The first is a Crassula cv. "Buddha's Temple" and the second I believe, off memory, is an Acantharhipsalis Monacantha.
