Wahoo Hurray!
That is so exciting Sandi. I just love the leaves on those two Orostachys. That is going to be one amazing container by summer time. Lovey dubby

Looks like my Orostachys spinosa that fasciated is at least partially dying off. Not sure what to do. Wonder if I should take it up and inspect the roots and maybe clean away the dead leaves?

I need to go out and take another photo from the full front, so you can see how the plant seems to be developing into two plants.

Lynn, the entire clump with all the separate offsets was lost? Why didn't the other little ones survive if only one bloomed?

After that photo all of them bloomed and seemed to suck the energy out of the few very tiny remaining offsets. Sad

I saw that too. I think it's just a glitch in their system - it never used to be like that.

I was given this hybrid recently as a gift. She called it O. Smock Valley Hybrid. It's a beautiful color.

Here's a link to a Japanese succulent site. This is a page devoted to Orostachys. Finding it was enough to get me pumped about this group of plants. http://www.succulents.jp/photo...
