Monanthes muralis with its weird flowers. #succulents #monanthes #plantsky #gardensky #succulent

some more of the new plants I bought at the National Cactus and Succulent Show the other week. 6 Crassula, a Senecio citriformis and a weird thing. It's called Cynanchum compactum and it looks dead and I had to have it. #succulents #crassula #senecio #plantsky #Cynanchum

I had to dig up a few Aeonium undulatum plants that got too tall for this bed so I might be able to squeeze a few new ones in. They're doing pretty well considering the heatwave #aeonium #succulents #GardensHour #plantsky #gardensky

Crassula corallina starting to flower #crassula #succulents #plantsky #succulent

I couldn't resist this Aloe suprafoliata that has 2 plants in the pot. also known as the book Aloe. #aloe #succulents #plantsky

I've given my Brokeback Mountain succulent garden a pretty brutal pruning this weekend to try and get it looking its best for the Harlow Carr cactus and succulent show in 5 weeks. I'm going to have a lot of Crassula tetragona cuttings. #succulents #plantsky #crassula #brokebackmountain

Begonia dregei 'Tweedle Dee' from the National Cactus and Succulent Show. I couldn't resist trying this one. It's a caudiciform succulent Begonia. I've given it a prune already so I should have loads of cuttings too. #begonia #succulents #caudiciforms #plantsky #houseplants

I think the magpies have been trying to bury a monkeynut in my Euphorbia obesa bowl garden again #succulents #euphorbia #plantsky #gardensky

My Lord Of The Rings succulent garden planted with 3 Crassula tetragona trees, plus Crassula setulosa and Aichryson tortuosum. and hobbits and elves. #succulents #crassula #Aichryson #plantsky #LordOfTheRings

I bought some new plants too at the National Cactus and Succulent Show, including these Aeoniums. Now I've got to figure out where to put them all. #succulents #aeonium #succulent #plantsky

my Thunderbirds Tracy Island succulent garden planted with Sempervivum and Jovibarba, with Aeonium palm trees along the runway #succulents #sempervivum #aeonium #plantsky #gardensky

I took some of my Frailea plants to the National Cactus and Succulent Show at the weekend to do an entry for the educational class. It came 2nd #frailea #plantsky #cactus #cacti

I got 3rd prize for my Winnie The Pooh garden in the themed container class at the National Cactus and Succulent Show #succulents #plantsky #crassula #sedum #alpines

it's the national cactus and succulent show tomorrow. it was judged today so unfortunately I know that my mam has won a first prize and I haven't #cactus #succulents #aeonium #plantsky

it's been a good week for cactus flowers despite the hot weather. Chamaelobivia 'Lincoln Crown' #cactus #chamaelobivia #echinopsis #plantsky #cacti

Some of my Frailea plants. I grew them all from seed. #frailea #cactus #plantsky #cacti

my Titanopsis calcarea bowl garden has a flower now. This should still be open for the national cactus and succulent show on Sunday #titanopsis #succulents #plantsky #mesembs #fossils

this massive red cactus flower opened today #cactus #echinopsis #soehrensia #plantsky #cacti

Another little living stone garden planted up with Lithops pseudotruncatella v dendritica C073 I grew from seed #Lithops #succulents #plantsky #mesembs

well it was meant to be Echinocereus rigidissimus rubrispinus albiflorus. very impressive, but you might have noticed the problem #echinocereus #cactus #plantsky #cacti

We had a trip to Harewood House this week too. They were filming something there again, but I think they're just using the inside of the house and not the gardens this time #plantsky #gardensky #HarewoodHouse

I divided my miniature Amorphophallus this week and now I've got about a million tiny tubers. Amorphophallus myosuroides #Amorphophallus #aroids #houseplants #plantsky

A little living stones garden I made from Lithops lesliei var. venteri C001 plants I grew from seed and some pebbles from the garden path #lithops #mesembs #succulents #plantsky

This Aeonium seems to go by a lot of names. Aeonium 'Green Witch', 'Riverstone' or 'White Phoenix', who knows which is right. It's a really good plant though and it grows and offsets very quickly #aeonium #succulents #plantsky #gardensky #succulent

This variegated Aeonium 'Garnet' plant is growing lots of heads because a caterpillar ate its growing point over winter. Caterpillars love eating Aeoniums. One of the new heads looks to be all white. Well, all pink at the moment. #aeonium #succulents #plantsky #gardensky #succulent

These Frailea ampliata were looking great and then a tiny slug decided to eat their growing points over winter. They're still getting buds though so I'll be able to grow more from seed next year. #frailea #cactus #plantsky #cacti

The National Cactus and Succulent Show is in 2 weeks. Is anyone going? #cactus #succulents #plantsky #nationalcactusandsucculentshow #bcssnationalshow

We've had a trip to RHS Harlow Carr this week too. I love these massive pots by the entrance planted up with succulents for summer #plantsky #gardensky #harlowcarr #succulents #cactus

My Titanopsis and ammonites bowl garden. I'm going to take it to a couple of shows this year. I grew the Titanopsis calcarea plants from seed. #titanopsis #succulents #plantsky #gardensky #fossils

Massive flower open on Echinocereus rigidissimus rubispinus Lau 088. It's very pink. #echinocereus #cactus #plantsky #cacti

2 pretty big Aeonium tabuliforme plants. These also got a bit damaged by the hailstones the other week. #aeonium #succulents #plantsky #gardensky #succulent

We repotted these into their own pots today. Frailea pygmaea grown from seed. You can see this one's already reached flowering size, but it's rare to see a flower open on Frailea because they can set seed without ever opening their flowers. #frailea #cactus #plantsky #cacti

I've got a few Chamaecereus luisramirezii plants flowering now. #Chamaecereus #echinopsis #cactus #plantsky #cacti

I really like growing Frailea from seed #frailea #cactus #plantsky #cacti

I went to the cactus and succulent show at Sheffield botanical gardens today. I managed to buy 12 plants #succulents #plantsky #sedum #crassula #sheffield

An even bigger cactus flower. Echinocereus huitcholensis. #Echinocereus #cactus #plantsky #gardenersworld #cacti

I've been trying habitat-style planting recently. This is an Adromischus subdistichus. What do you think? #succulents #plantsky #adromischus #habitatstyle

Finally joined Bluesky and I don't really know what to do. Can anyone help me find people who like #plants #gardening #cactus #succulents #houseplants etc over here?

A red flower open on Echinocereus triglochidiatus and a pink flower open on an Echinocereus natural hybrid #echinocereus #cactus #floweringcactus #cacti

Lots of pink flowers open on Sedum pilosum, a biennial succulent. I guess it's all over soon. #sedum #gardening #succulents #alpines

shall I post something then?
