valleylynn said:I have one that has showed up in a dish garden, and no Orostachys in the area. And it is totally different from any of the others I have.
I see it has aphids.

Hi Lynn, your oro reminds me a bit of mine but I'm not 100% sure if they are the same.

Orostachy Hybrid from Perennial Obsessions

Bless you Yan.
I now remember that it did come from Perennial Obsessions. Thank you so much. It is so different than all of my other Oros.
Yours looks like a perfect match.

You're welcome Lynn, glad to help

Since our weather has turned cold and wet, mine looks like yours. It is starting into hibernation. It will be interesting to see how far it goes into that process.

Hooray Yan for detective work!! Enjoy the cold hope you are staying warm!

Actually that photo was from Oct 5th. They have lost all of its longer outer leaves and are left with the center rosette only. The photo below is from Oct 31st to give you an idea. It doesn't look as good now in hibernation.


Greg, I'm keeping myself warm. Can't complain with high temps 40s low 30s.

I went out today and looked at mine. Not much to see now. I'll try to remember to take a photo tomorrow.

These pix were shot after my beds were covered for the winter: had to cut openings for the Oro section. They were the last things the bees were able to get to in the entire garden.

Nice to accommodate the bees, Kate!

Very happy bees you have there Kate. Love seeing the orostachys. Are they covered for the winter now?

Wow Kate what amazing photos!! They look so lovely! I hope I get pretty flowers on mine next summer

Beautiful!

No, I had to cut away the shadecloth to allow them to keep feeding the bees. Not too worried since they are monocarps: just hope the littler ones make it. We're expecting five below zero tonight. And the worst is yet to come (usually January & February).

Oh my, that is way to cold for me. I feel chilled to the bone just thinking about that kind of temps.

I want this Orostachys. Please segitsetek where I can buy.
The image "internet"

For me, these are:

It is so tempting to find these beautiful plants on the internet -- and then discover they are on the wrong continent... I hope you do find them, Laszlo -- they are lovely!

Just checking in here -- miserable weather. We haven't seen the sun in days! And while the ground is covered with snow now, it looks as if we'll have rain just in time for Christmas! Oh well. Still, lots going on and I'll be underground with everything going on in chapel: getting ready for Christmas and then 12 days of celebration!

Happy holidays MR! Be well!!
Laszlo what lovely plants!! I didn't realize orostachys get so large!! Super! Happy holidays

Wishing you much Enjoyment in your preparations and celebration, MR!

Happy holidays everyone!
I'll write if you managed to do this kind of Orostachys buy it. I now have peace of mind. Getting ready for the holidays.

My orostachys are enjoying our hot weather.
