djsmiley2k - the zones don't really map too well onto our climate. I put 8/9 on my tag just as a rough idea of winter minima but over here we don't get anything like the summer heat a US 8/9 would get. re my remark about being amazed ... what I meant was that it is was not too hard to id your plants because they are all so common, not that the plants were amazing. By the way, the plant you labelled as a 'yucca' is not a yucca. It was correctly identified as Cordyline australis which is relatively hardy in the UK. It can grow much taller but tends to look rather leggy. They will reach house height after a few years. If you want to post pictures in future you can cut and paste the html code from your picture hosting site directly into your message. That way we will be able to see your pictures without going into all the individual links. Good gardening. Flora.

yes! It is the leaf footed nymph. Thanks. I am about to look up more info to see if I need to be getting rid of it. Michelle

This is a warm growing species which likes it warm and humid for best growth. I wouldn't put it outside until night time temps are above 60F, and it will need misting on a regular basis to keep it hydrated. This is not the easiest species of Tillandsia to keep alive without a greenhouse setup, they usually get too dry and slowly die off. Bright shade or dappled sun is probably best exposure for this.

In ground 18" Has 4 pups at base and 1 on flower stem. Is it Aloe gasteria hybrid. Gets about 5 hours of full sun seems to like it there sun all morning.
