NoID Echeveria has bloomed ... anyone care to take a stab at an ID?
7 years ago
Aaaaand it's yellow. Not very definitive, haha!
A few other photos showing the leaf shape and colour. It has white edges that colour up very pink at the tips in good sun; very much like a pulidonis, however the leaves seem different to me.

has anyone regreted sowing...
Comments (27)Same here - I haven't posted in quite sometime. I made the mistake of planting some Queen Anne's Lace and I don't know if I'll ever be able to get rid of all of it. I hope to maybe get out this weekend since we haven't had that much seriously cold weather and I can see the area it is growing it very easily right now, get a shovel and just start digging and pulling it out. I too love the look of it, but it just takes over. Now as to the forget-me-nots, they do reseed like crazy, but they are such a welcome treat so early in the spring, I just don't think I would ever want to live without them. I just pull up the ones I don't want, let it bloom until it starts going to seed and then just get out there and pull it up. Dames Rocket can be a bother sometimes too, but I wouldn't call it invasive. It's just a good reseeder, which I think is what a lot of us want. Now beebalm on the other hand, jeesh does it go crazy or what! But the bees love it, so I'll always try to keep some around. Hope everyone had a lovely holiday and are now dreaming sweet dreams about our gardens! Mel...See MoreA wet garden and Mimulus cardinalis--Has anyone grown this?
Comments (24)Wow. Long time no see on that thread. Thanks for dredging it up. The Mimulus cardinalis is a sad story. I planted three of them in the fall of '05, and they just never took. I could tell they weren't settling in, and then the cold weather came and I had a bad feeling about them. Spring of '06 came and they did not survive. I called Joy Creek, and told them the sad story. I said it might have been too late in the year to successfully plant them. They very kindly agreed to send 3 replacement plants, and I put them in immediately. They settled in nicely, putting out new growth and I was feeling very hopeful about them. That summer, misfortune struck. We had workmen redo our front sidewalk. There were 4 or 5 guys, very nice fellows, but pretty clueless about plants. I pointed to the Mimulus and made sure to tell at least one of the workmen to please be very careful not to trample them. I'm sure you can tell where this sad story is leading. I went inside for a bit, and when I came out, all three plants were ground down to mush. They never recovered and this time I knew there wouldn't be any free replacements. Maybe I'll try to order some more this spring and try again. They really had been settling in quite nicely, and I could have just died when they got stomped. I should have told all of the workmen, not just one guy. What a disappointment. I wish you luck with them, flutterbug, and thanks for resurrecting this old thread. I'll let you know if I decide to try again....See MoreSome bloom pics, and some mid-season cause for celebration :)
Comments (32)Nicole--si, il cuor verde d'italia, esattamente! :-) It's an apt nickname. If you ever get the chance, go there! Of all the places I've been on this planet, it stands out as the most enchanting, hands down. And the wine is unique and wonderful. I call that corner the Heart of Darkness because it's where the property line meets the seawall, and it's overgrown with clusters of palms of various sorts that never seem to get manicured--and so all of the dead fronds hang there and it becomes more and more like a tiny jungle as time passes. Small *cringe*. Anyway, I'll be glad to send the cutting either way. I know your trees are young. But if you make me an offer I can't refuse, I might then hafta accept :-) We'll talk about over the winter LOL it'll give us something to do while are plumies are bare naked sticks. Thank you, Wendy! :-) You're very kind. And I don't expect you to bother John on my behalf--it's all good. If I decide I MUST have that tree (and put it where???), then you've given me enough info to, theoretically at least, find out from John what that sassy little plumie is named, if not Tangerine Dream, and then order me one! LOL it makes my day to know that y'all enjoyed my storytelling :-) You hafta have a sense of humor, I guess, right?, 'cause if you don't, one minute the iguanas are downing your trees, the next minute you're going postal! hehe In seriousness, the iguanas still come 'round often enough to decimate any progress that a few of my smaller trees have made-- it only takes 1-2 visits a month on their part. It's sad--Mary Moragne and Kona Hybrid each came to me as short 2-tips, and they've been picked clean so often that the nubby tips are tapering up to nothing. Another one recently broke a branch off Haleakala, on its way to shred the leaves, kinda beaver-style LOL. It's MADDENING but I guess there are some things that one cannot control.

Comments (24)Maybe I misunderstood, but your original post said: ...'Is artificial light interfering with their photoperiod, maybe?'...So my answer was directly to that statement. I understood it as you were suggesting the artificial light is not suitable. It may not make sense and matter to others, but reason I reversed days and nights was mainly to consume less energy/pay less for hydro. I had a big light set up for all plants I have (succulents and non-succulents, approx. 300 pots) and on top of it there was electric heating only. I did not have enough of window space for them (very small windows + 18 huge evergreens that were abt. 70' tall surrounding the house all around). Plants have to be indoors for about 6mo (even bit longer) in my zone, that is a long time. For me, that was a big benefit. Yes, there are plants that need long or short night to flower (=obligate photoperiodic plants); there are also day-neutral plants....and so on. In spite of reversed photoperiod, the plants grew and bloomed well. I did not eliminate the night - time to rest :). They were also kept in cooler temps, just below 50*F. I have posted about it quite a bit in the past, and I am not advocating for anyone to do the same......See MoreRelated Professionals

Beth, did you send me a tiny pup off yours? One of the echies I got in our trade is similar, but has some differences. You had this one marked as topsy turvy but it has grown up to be (very beautifully) not an E. runyonii.
I don't know - so many Echeveria hybrids out there. I've seen pics that seem to match very closely but have vastly different (sometimes made-up sounding haha) names; likely various pulidonis hybrids.
I think mine looks like it maybe has some subsessilis or elegans in it, too. Definitely not chubby like that starburst, or ruffly like the tsunami. Ah well, I guess I'll settle for pulidonis hybrid :D it's grown to be one of my faves, regardless.

Another update :) Here she is today in the same pot with her ten grown offsets (with even more new tiny ones growing under the main rosette!)
