Hey everyone. Been a while since I've posted here, but I'm loving seeing everyones plants so much that I thought I'd share some of my favorites with everyone as well. My oldest Thanksgiving cactus. It'll be 4 years in January. It doesn't look like much, but I'm thrilled with it 'cause it lost all its segments during the spring and I think it's coming back quite nicely. Opuntia santa-rita. One of my favs. Will be 2 years in April. Jade ovata 'Gollum'. Turned 2 in September. Haworthia fasciata. Really like this one. 1.5 years old. Philodendron scandens. 3.5 years old. Another Phildendron. Not sure of its exact name. Only 6 months old. Dracaena deremensis 'Yellow Stipe'. My mother can't grow these worth a bean, but mine's doing quite well I think. Will be 3 years in May. Dracaena marginata. Turned 4 in September. Ficus elastica 'Black Prince'. 2.5 years old. Hildewinteria aureispina. Will be 3 years in April. Coleus blumei. Looks quite pathetic right now but that's because I just cut it back hard. It always grows back beautifully. I'm proud of this one because Coleus plants are classified as annuals and this one is turning 3 years next month (Decemeber). Hope I didn't post too much. Thanks for sharing everyone and thanks for looking at mine.

Pat, Ohhhhh, I've spent an evening or two out there! I'll be out there even more as (ugh!) winter sets in! Still haven't tested WiFi transmit capacilites, yet!!! Thanks for the compliments on the garden! I'm actually very proud of it - since I had ZERO experience with landscaping prior to this (and, yes, I planned/planted almost all of it myself!). There's been a lot of 'experimentation' (and several hundred $$'s worth of stuff that ended up in the compost pile!) But when it's all said and done, I'm *really* happy with it! We skip summer vacations and just hang out in our backyard resort! Come late winter, however, it looks pretty dismal out there. I'm hoping the GH will allow me a little 'sanity' through winter! Greenhouser, If you were referring to a free website: Check out Freeservers. They offer 'Ad-Supported' web-hosting - but it's basically free. *I* don't see any ads b/c I'm on Firefox, but I'm sure others do. Heck, it's free - so what does it matter?!! If I got enough traffic, or was doing anything 'commercial,' I'd bite the bullet and pay for Ad-Free hosting (It's a 'hobby' site. So what they Hey?!) I've been w/Freeservers for almost 10 yrs now. I'm very happy with them. And they've got Super-Easy Webpage-Building Templates available. I have the Garden Page on a totally free freeservers site. My 'personal' page is also on freeservers (but I paid for my domain and wrote my own ['Beginners!'] html). They're a *little* limited in that I have to send ppl *to* the website (rather than link to a specific picture), but waddya want for free? ;-) I definitely highly recommend them! -N Here is a link that might be useful: Freeservers

This last is one of the variegated forms of Euphorbia characias - could be 'Glacier Blue', 'Silver Swan' or possibly 'Tasmanian Tiger'. All of these are patented plants also so not sure why they are being sold tagless unless the tags have been misplaced. This makes me think the first could very well be 'Blackbird' too, as it has very deep coloring, whereas the 'Purpurea' is quite variable. Good scores all, as these are great, very low maintenance perennials and evergreen to boot. All of these euphorbias should be hardy for zone 8 - they are all fully hardy in mine. However, most euphorbias tend to be rather xeric plants and do not care for high humidity. If you live in the south or other zone 8 locations with high humidity, these may not be very long lived.

E. Knuthii had branches that use to look like this early season .... but now they look like this.. Moving right along( sort of slowly) E. Larkspinsis is making freasher arm progress by cutting 3 -4 of the lankier droopy arms per season While talking about some do overs here is an E. greenyii that was nearly drowning when adopted. I'll admit it this one is kind of small for a E. lactea creasted variegate You ought to see the mother that this had been plucked from while admitting I am kind of hoarding that one. You've seen this one before on your thread from others as it finally gets some colors. And why is there a seniceo on a Euphorbia thread Well... as you did ask for a succulent and..... technically Euphorbia are a spurge.. A bit of show and tell from you too perhaps ? How are yours doing ?
