Great stuff, as always Stan.

I gave up on my Huperzia. It just never grew. I’m thinking just too cold in the greenhouse over winter.

What’s the orchid in photo 3?

You do manage to pack a lot in that little garden of yours, Stan!

How long have the tree aloes been n the ground? I have a couple in a pot and don't know what to do with them - how long did yours take to flower?

Thanks guys. Michael that is Aloidendron barberae that was a 10" cutting i stuck in the ground around 1999. The larger it gets the faster it grows. Martin,the summers here comes close to offing it if I go more than 2 days without giving it some water. I've pushed that border for sure. Not much room for much more Paul,so its now turn what I have into a specimen. The winter has been relatively mild and the Ti Plants are sending up flower spikes. That's a new one.

Yes, me too. This was mine yesterday and low temps in for the week. Haven’t been brave enough to check the greenhouse yet!

Thanks again. The Aloidendron babarae is having its first bloom from small cutting stuck in the ground around the 1998-2000 period. A piece of Hyperzia broke off last summer and to my surprise is rooting in pure sphagnum moss. A tip. A mild winter so far. No rain they say for the rest of January after our heaviest rains last week.
