[ Rose (Rosa 'P.G. Wodehouse') | Posted on April 28, 2023 ]

Deep red with very dense petals. Nice looking blooms. Fragrance is mild.

[ Echeveria 'Green Gilva' | Posted on March 26, 2023 ]

This is also being sold as Echeveria Purpusorum 'Green Gilva'.

[ Desert Rose (Adenium obesum 'Triple Wish') | Posted on December 7, 2022 ]

Top petals are yellow with prominent thick pink (almost red) line in the center of each petal. Bottom petals are curled to form a circle. All of the petals have frilly edges. The lower part of each petal exhibits splatters of purplish-brown hue, giving it a striking contrast against the vibrant yellow petals. The top petals have a tendency to not fully open during hot summer months, causing the purplish-brown color to become more visible.

[ Adenium (Adenium obesum 'Desert Christmas') | Posted on November 19, 2022 ]

'Desert Christmas' is a multipetal adenium. Not all blooms will have pollens but some blooms do produce thick healthy pollens. Since the petals are thick and the throat is deep, the easiest way to coax it to produce seedpod is via hand pollination.

[ Desert Rose (Adenium 'Red Dragon') | Posted on November 19, 2022 ]

Red Dragon is a single petal adenium. All blooms produce thick healthy pollens. Since this produces big single petals, it is easy to make it produce a seedpod via hand pollination. For best result, this can easily be cross pollinated with double or multipetal adeniums.

[ Desert Rose (Adenium obesum subsp. multiflorum) | Posted on November 15, 2022 ]

Adenium Multiflorum stays leafless and flowerless most of the year. It is active and has flowers in winter time.

[ Desert Rose (Adenium obesum 'Premsup Yellow') | Posted on March 17, 2022 ]

This is a floriferous desert rose that produces clusters of 3 or more blooms on a single stem. The blooms start as light canary yellow. As the blooms get older, the color starts to turn light to darker pink with yellow undertones. It is quite a beautiful sight when this plant has canary yellow and pink blooms at the same time. This is supposed to be a Thai hybrid that has been mass produced but still is somewhat uncommon in the U.S. at this time.

[ Pachyveria (XPachyveria 'Dr Cornelius') | Posted on March 14, 2022 ]

This is a hybrid between P. glutinicaule and an unknown Echeveria. Leaves are chubby apple-green color with reddish highlights. Best color is winter time, when stressed color will change to orange apple red. This is sometimes listed as Pachyphytum.

[ Elephant Bush (Portulacaria afra Kaleidoscopeā„¢) | Posted on March 10, 2022 ]

This is also sold as Portulacaria 'Kaleidoscope Tim' (aka instead of TM); Portulacaria 'Midstripe Rainbow Bush';
Portulacaria 'Roulant'.

It has small green leaves with white strips in the middle, and sometimes all white leaves with reddish pink stems.

[ Graptosedum (XGraptosedum 'Francesco Baldi') | Posted on February 26, 2022 ]

Due to the variations in color and size of the rosettes when sold in stores, buyers may unwittingly collect the same succulents when sold under different names.

These are sold as: xGraptosedum 'Blue Pearl' and xGraptosedum 'Darley Sunshine', xGraptosedum 'Edelfrau', xGraptoveria 'Frostbite', xGraptosedum 'Pink Beauty', xGraptoveria 'Van Keppel', xSedeveria 'Doinet', xSedeveria 'Starburst'

Some online sites sell this as:
Graptoveria 'Blue Pearl' (usually when the rosettes are mature, huge and plump).
