Double blossom incoming on this Titanopsis calcorea ... I'm a big fan of this odd mesemb. 🌱

This is some shrubby mesemb that grows in several spots in my neighborhood. I might have nabbed myself a tiny little cutting at some point 🤫

Cheiridopsis denticulata seedlings. 🌱

These tiny paired leaves are the beginning of a South African mesemb adapted to winter rainfall deserts.

Seeds originally collected near Platbakkies in the Northern Cape.
Pot filled with many seed-grown Cheiridopsis denticulata seedlings. The plants have small, plump paired leaves in pastel shades of green, peach, and pink emerging from gritty succulent soil. Grown from Mesa Garden seed (collection RP009) originally collected near Platbakkies in the Northern Cape of South Africa, part of the arid winter-rainfall region known for many mesemb species.

Some sort of bushy mesemb that puts up big, white flowers. I think this is colloquially called an Ice Plant in the Anglosphere.

Coppery mesemb (according to my phone). I’d missed the little high desert wall at the Denver Botanic Gardens last time I was there, and I’m glad I caught it this time. So many cute little dry happy plants 💚

Delosperma (マツバギク) with a few more flowers. I wonder how many we can get going at once.

Mini King Arthur had to pull his sword out of a different living stone this time because one Lithops decided to flower the week before the show. He didn't win anything again, but there's a mesemb show I can take this to in autumn, so he has another chance #lithops #succulents #plantsky #mesembs

Titanopsis calcarea is the only mesemb that I’ve been able to keep alive for several years. I do absolutely nothing but give it a drink if it gets super hot in Summer. I don’t even cover it when it rains in Winter which is supposed to be a no no. #succulents #mesemb #Aizoaceae

I reckon the Faucaria paucidens in my mesemb garden could flower tomorrow. The ones I had in the coldframe had their flowers nibbled by snails so I hope this one survives. Planted with a Rhinephyllum, Trichodiadema and a Faucaria tuberculosa. #succulents #faucaria #plantsky #GardensHour #mesembs

Aloe excelsa blooming in the greenhouse. Soaking up the joy before this week's winter blast hits. So not looking forward to the cold...

Gibbaeum album
(English: shark's mouth mesemb;
Afrikaans: Duimpie-snuif, Papegaaibek, Vinger-en-duim, Visbekvygie)

redlist.sanbi.org/species.php?...
Gibbaeum album, also known as shark's mouth mesemb, is a small species of succulent in the family Aizoaceae. It is endemic to the Western Cape province in South Africa. It is found in the northern parts of the Langeberg in the Barrydale region. There are two sub-populations known, but the population of one has substantially reduced due to road construction. The surviving population is threatened due to encroachment by horticulturists. Gibbaeum album is an evergreen cactus / succulent with blue and green foliage. In spring and summer purple and white flowers emerge. Features glaucous texture. Grows well with mostly sun - mostly shade and low water. Prefers to be dry when dormant. Does well in acidic, gritty, rocky and well-drained soil. Gibbaeum album is a dwarf, compact scarcely branched clump-forming succulent with greyish-white united leaf-pairs. Growing , always above ground. The 4 to 15 leaf-pais, develops mainly towards the outer edge hence pressed laterally to the soil, the interior of old plants is occupied by persisting old capsules and old leaves remnants.

Bergeranthus multiceps is commonly called 三時草 (“three o’clock grass”) because it blooms around 3:00 pm (your mileage may vary)

Peersia macradenia
(English: Karoo Stoneleaf, Karoo Dewleaf, Velvet Stoneleaf, Little Karoo Figleaf;

As ons kyk na Peersia macradenia / Rhinephyllum macradenium, val die volgende dinge op: Dis ’n klein, lae groeiende vetplant. Dit het dik, klipperige blare wat soos ’n kamoeflering in sy habitat werk. Dit kom uit die droë Karoo en Namakwaland-streke. Die blomme is klein en fyn, tipies van die Aizoaceae (mesemb-familie).
