@valleylynn, thank you for the tips. How do I go about collecting the seed? Is there an obvious pod or should I use the paper bag method? I am desperately trying to learn how to grow succulents and have had iffy success. These guys however have been mostly forgotten outside and lived through several winters. They are also in front of a gutter downspout which makes no sense to me since i've heard that it's better to starve them of water than give too much. Oh well, nature knows best! I'm glad they are happy enough to blossom. Maybe I should take the ones I am trying to grow in my sunroom and plop them out there with the others!?
