Thanks guys, Bev no idea, but I can figure it out...4 by 1.5 feet of chicken wire, a semp in each space. Jackie, yes this is the same, I haven't added any semps, they are growing in now so you can see them. Some of the ones I used were small!! Very small (pea sized or smaller) and I wasn't even sure they'd live, a couple haven't and I've replaced them but I haven't added any! I'll take a photo tomorrow of one that I didn't think was going to make it, it had its crown smooshed somehow, or eaten away or something, anyway after a couple of months it has a whole new rosette growing!!

Awesome Greg!!! It has really came a long way since the last picture I saw. Very nice. They all look so healthy! Im so jealous....Great Job! Cant wait to see it all hung up

Thanks Jackie! Yes I'm happy with it! Although there are some semps that I want! So as they send out chicks I guess I'll be "culling" even though they're NOIDs! (especially some of the larger ones at the bottom!)

We love NOIDS Greg! Mine sure love me right now. One day we should do some NOID trading

I'd like that Jackie! Later in the summer, I'm going to have several! (that is if they send out chicks, which I'm assuming they will!) They better!

YAY! We shall have to make a NOID thread at that time and I love that Bev wants to give my pretty purple ones it's own name....dont think we ever did come up with something.

I highly recommend Lotusland! The thread "Lotusland, Santa Barbara" in Pacific Coast Gardening forum
Huntington too! I have lots of photos somewhere.
and my Calif. Cactus Center & some San Diego shots album https://picasaweb.google.com/1...

Thanks Sue those pictures of Lotusland are beautiful! I need to put that on my list when I finally experience Cali.

Really amazing photos Sue!!

Love your vertical succulent box!!

Wow Mark you have quite the collection going there. Very cool! with Greg.. great looking vertical wall. I think your rock garden is my favorite!!

Nice collection of succulents Mark!

thanks all

I just love it when my flapjacks, grown outdoors, finally recover from their winter growing conditions. As if nothing bothered them at all. Plus it has been a drier but cooler winter, so it did not suffer much.

What a lot of color changes in just a few months. I can't believe how huge it got! Very cool.

Thanks Chris This one is always a trooper! I find now that it is consistently warm I can freely water it, and it gets that glossy green color, unlike the matte finish it shows during winter, though the new growth starts very light green. And it has been very windy here so it gets dry quick enough.
