I think that the second one is a pipe organ cactus (lemaireocereus marginatus) and the first one definitly a crassula, I might even argentea (jade) that was in some starge growing condition, that might have caused it to try and grow sideways for more light? How long have you had it do you now it's history?
Geeze Louise Jillie I just got progressive bifocals :p and I still can't hardly see the pix...."do I need trifocals?"
What happened to putting it in your album thingie!!! Now I could SEE those!!!
Wink, Wink!!!
When I finally get my camera it will take me years to learn....You should of seen how long it took this computer nit wit to get the animations. Everybody in the hostess lounge had a good laugh over that one. I am totally electronically challenged!!!
There are also 3 new pics of one of our euphorbias blooming. This was another garden rescue, the gardener was using it as a stepping stone until he uprooted it completely. I love the little flowers, they have a perfect star in the center of the bloom.
If anyone knows that exact name if this one, I would appreciate.
Catlover, sorry...When I posted larger pics, they didn't show...too many pixels, me tinks..
Newt, Thanks...Jade...? The only thing, though, is that instead of woody stems, they're fleshy. And, the edges of the sort-of spatulate leaves are purple, instead of pink. We have about five different kinds of jade, here, & this is a real oddity.... Hmmmmm...jade? Maybe a hybrid?
Papito, I think you're close to the cigar, here. The leaves on ours are a bit more fleshy at the tip...and the spacing of the leaves along the stem is a bit different...
Lizheaemma, I just learned something new on your post! Thank~You, You posted that with GOOGLE SEARCH, I never knew you could switch that thing to image and get a bunch of pictures of something......
Hi, Liz That shot is of one of the "flapjack" ones. I have three of those guys and the newbie isn't the same. Check out the two new photos in our webshots. I have the new guy repotted in a pink planter and I put it behind an arborescens for comparison in the first shot. In the second pic we have newbie grouped with some other jades. It's definitely in the family....but the leaves don't grow opposite one another....Maybe it did get stunted and deformed during its babyhood.....
Wow Jillie! I don't have an answer for you, but I just LOVE all your succulents! I especially like the hummer whirly - they are my favorites and I collect garden hummer thingies.
Awe, thanks, Lynne Just sitting outside and looking at all the forms and colors is so calming and zen-ish....I just love these plants, too! The sillies and whirrlies just add to the fun. I think we have about four of the hummer thingies. Every day, something new is going on out there...even in winter.
