Sedum, Unidentified !
I am guessing this is a sedum. I’m not sure sure what else it would be. The plant makes a nice mass of green and the flowers are small but delicate and pretty. If anyone can identify it, let me know.
Stenocactus multicostatus
Stenocactus multicostatus is also called brain cactus because the ridges on the body of the plant are thought resemble a brain. If you look closely, you can see two buds developing to the upper right of the flower that is already open.
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is the kalanchoe that you will see in flower shops. The blooms come in a variety of colors and it makes a nice blooming plant for a gift. As the days pass and more of the buds open, this one will make much more of a statement.
Pachypodium baronii
Pachypodium baronii buds. Pachypodium baronii flowers nine days later. Pachypodiums are a member of the family apocynaceae and are considered a caudiciform, a fat plant, because they have developed a fat water retaining base, trunk, or root for storing water during...
Mammillaria
Mammillaria. One of my many unidentified mammillarias. Like most of them, this one is making a halo of blooms.
Euphorbias
I have not been able to identify the variety of either of these euphorbias. Their stems are similar, but the one, as you can see, does not have the flat, fleshy leaves that the other one does. And those little pink things on both are flowers, believe it or not! While...
Matucana madisoniorum
Matucana madisoniorum is one variety I don’t see very often. These are growing and seem healthy in spite of the blemishes on the bodies. You can see two more buds forming on the other cactus. I am not sure what caused the scarring. That is something I am still...
Echeveria harmisii
Echeveria harmisii. This echeveria has furry leaves and sometimes gets leggy, but the tops can be cut off, allowed to dry or scab over for a day, and replanted to make a more compact plant.
Mammillaria nejapensis; Notocactus haselbergii
Mammillaria nejapensis. I bought this cactus just this year. I like the contrast of the bright green body with the hairy areoles and light-colored spines. The flowers are also a little different with the stripes of red against the white. These flowers last a couple of...
Euphorbia milii; white, red, yellow
Euphorbia milii by its common name is called crown of thorns, or sometimes forever plant, because it will bloom for a while, stop, and then bloom again. So it blooms off and on all year. Mine all happen to be the smaller varieties, and I have the white and red, as...
