Thanks!
Maarten

I am sorry to say, but I assume the plant is wrongly labeled. My S. ciliosum v. galicicum looks completly different, more tufted and plain green. You should check the web or nearest enthusiast, there are literaly thousands of wrongly labeled sempervivums in the circulation. I myself have about 1.500 different plants - still trying to find out if there are any wrongly labeled among them.

Best wishes from Ljubljana, Slovenia, Renee

Hi Maarten !

Remember you sent me some seeds 2 years ago ?
Well, I am proud to see the very first flowers at the moment on my plants.
Thanks for all !

[Hi my friend; watch out: keep the plant in winter at room temp! It takes 8 C but you loose the beauty of the plant then.
Keep it at minimum 15, + sun, +water.
Its from Madagascar, y kow..]

I have one here in my garden.

Hi Maarten This is im shure Pelargonium aridum


[Again: thanks. I shall tell Cok. He is the Pelar expert..
Maarten]

Hi Maarten this is Perlargoniun mollicomom

[Thanks. I shall tell Cok. He is the Pelar expert..

This could be vinaceum. It is probably NOT from the Drakensberg as Richter sold them as. It is not particular hardy. -10C is very critical for them,

I also have the exact same plant as CV Nelson Mandela.

Martin Tversted

It´s a form of D. vinaceum, other forms are traded under D. sp. Kapstadt and D. cv. Nelson Mandela.

[Yep, its an incredible beauty. And hardy too here (Netherlands)! Stands in ice in winter..
Its from Canadian marshes.

Há mais de 5 anos que tenho esse cactus e de vez em quando surge a estrela. É muito linda! gostaria de saber mais à respeito da stapelia nobilis (origem, porque se assemelha a planta carnívora- odor desagradável, cor, pelos..etc...) e porque ela demora tanto para desabrochar? Tenho uma que etá com 3 brotos p/ sair a flor. É comum?

[Bom dia;
Nao e um cactus, its a Stapeliad. Asclepiadaceae.
I think its called nobilis because it doesnt stink.
For the rest of your questions: it depends of the way you are growing them. Join a Stapeliad or Ascleps group and ask there because I dont know.
Btw I would like a good contact in Portugal. Swapping plants but also being able to aquire a nice shepherds coat.

Perfect!! =))

[Thanks!]

So nicely done...almost tactile,

[Thanks. Its a French friend that took the pic.]

I have a plant that looks like this but it is more felty on the leaves and the flower is more like a yellow orange, I have tried to find a photo of it somewhere online but this is the closest I have come to what mine looks like. would you happen to have any idea of what I have? thanks

[Pls join the AgaveForum group and ask there. I know its not an Agave but you shall get the answer there.
