At the end of last month (January 2015), I participated in an on-line succulent auction on a FaceBook group called MinWateR and my bid was the most successful! I patiently waited for over a week for my plants to arrive by courier. What excitement when I unpacked them! Beautifully and safely boxed in little brown paper packets, all with specie names on, they were all none the worse for the wear.
(Plants from Hendri Pretorius).
Then came the big job of preparing soil and pots and planting my 25 little darlings. I'm building up quite a collection and soon I will have to build them their own display house!
Here are some of the first pics I took :
Euphorbia horidda - rooted cutting
Pleiospilos nelli - 3yr Old Seedling
Aloe comosa - 3yr Old Seedling
Aloinopsis rosulata - 3yr Old Seedling (Rubrolineota)
