Nice group of pics. Coral Majority I find is difficult for me to capture the true color of it. Filled to Overflowing has struggled here for many years. Far From The Madding Crowd looks like one of Curt's other intros "Capacity For Wonder". Neon Flamingo is interesting and I've kept it on a wish list but waiting to see how it looks in different gardens during different climate cycles.

I always like the color overlays on Smokey Mountain Autumn. As a bud builder, if you leave the scapes in place for awhile more buds may appear. I've had mine blooming clear into September. ....The Band Played on is another of yours I like very much but all of them are nice............Maryl

Really nice picture of South Seas. So many people praised it years ago that I got one and can't imagine being without it now. It's blooming as I type.....Paige's Pinata always gets me. Every time I see your name I try and remember it's name. One of these days I may find room for it. I do like it quite a bit.......I may have grown your yellow noid years ago. A friend claimed it and I reluctantly let it go. I'll try and find the name and check back with you......Maryl

You have such amazing seedlings, I especially like the 1st one, but all are so nice. Explosion is really different. I was at a site recently, can't remember what site, but they had 3 or 4 variegated blooms, very neat.

Enter the Sandman, hoss - those are nice pics of great plants, but for my dollar, the Aloe c. seedlings and 'Betty's Beryl' steal the show. TFS, Brother Haslam - you're doing those dumplings right.

Thanks, everybody! I'm glad you enjoyed the pics. I've been rushing around the last few days; people apparently need me to do lots of things that are not plant related. Even now, must rush out.
Jeff, you can have as many of those cryptos as you like. There aren't enough shelves in the world, or my backyard, to hold them all.

Wow Ryan, I would be pleased too...they look great and I absolutely love the Schwantesia, very unique, rarely seen. LIthops is doing well too. Mine is hanging on as I do not have time for the plants now (for proper care), so they must just survive. Your pics make me want to go and work on them...great motivation!! thanks.

He's succulent but hardly idle, sez me. I hope to meet him in the near future in the flesh and enter the Garden of Mesemby Delights.

Wow, I'm in awe of your collection! Completely coveting your lithops; I just don't have the knack.

Thanks again, you guys. I do feel blessed to live in a great climate and have the ability to grow these treasures. It's worth every effort. Thank you for the feedback, it means so much more when I can share it.

Rian, I'm very pleased to inspire one who has inspired me. You know, I have 2 little girls and it's still possible to grow with a furvour. That's the beauty of xeric plants... they can wait. Teach him how to mist and pollinate.

Will do, my feeling if I look at the little face is, teach him how to transplant...hehe. But the plants surviving with a little loss here and there.

Having a garden with 99% aloe and succulents means I have not watered since Sept 2012, remember because it was just before the parents visited..."I really like" hehe

Love it! Keep the muiria watered often. I'm impressed with the ruschiorum, that species consistently evades my efforts.
