I'm not entirely sure about this plant's identification - some references point to a Huernia, but I'll keep looking. For now, I'll enjoy the cool flowers it is pumping out - they totally look like road kill meat!!!
My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!

New Year - Tavaresia barklyii Blooming
The big Tavaresia is starting the New Year off right!!!
A few new shoots emerging from the central section can be seen as well. I'm looking forward to seeing this plant continue to grow and develop.

Another One Identified!!!
Duvalia sulcata
These asclepiads are especially hard to identify - until they flower that is!!!
This one finally flowered two days ago - and checking on it this morning, the flower is still wide open. I'll try and take another picture this evening.

Stinking The Place Up
The Stapelia grandiflora is still flowering. This time is really smelled bad...
I'm not sure if the white things are small maggots or the pollen sacks busted open...

CSSH September 2017 Meeting - Asclepiads
Another awesome meeting!!! Full house and a great topic - Asclepiads to include Hoyas, Huernias, Stapelias, Ceropegia, and my favorite - Pseudolithos.
Here are some pictures of the plants that were brought in.
The "My Favorite Plant" presenters brought in Astrophytums, Myrmecodias, and Stapelia gigantea - and a few of the other plants around the meeting
We had a really great time and we were able to pick up some plants we don't already have. La picked up a new ti plant, Noe got a Hoya and I got two new types of stapeliads.
