Kalanchoe bryophyllum

Thats it Marley, it must be.

 

Well, after going through 100 or so out of 941 Crassula pictures, I've come back to see that Marley perhaps needs a medal. So it is of the Kalanchoe family ... sorry, pete, you said that on the other thread and I refuted it.

Perhaps because the ones I photographed are left to their own devices, the leaves are dried and difficult to ID ... well, they have a drink or two in the last couple of days now.

In the meantime, trawling these pics I have identified a Crassula I have C tretragona.

 

I was looking at the leaves in the second pic, Sis, but I agree that Marley had ID'd it. I've never seen a Kalenchoe with such leaves before, just the usual flat ones.

 

Got me beat on this one lol.

 

Marley, that looks like something I had in Bucks when I was into Cactus, had all sorts of them in my little conservatory ... mine used to have yellow flowers every year. This was in the days of pictures being developed so I'd have to go through zillions of pics to find a pic of it.

I'll photograph mine tomorrow that I identified today, but haven't seen it flower it, hopefully this year. Whilst looking, I also saw the Crassula coccinea which I had a couple of years ago and have put up in GC but sadly killed off by neglect so must get another, a true beauty.

We did good guys, Marley identified (I'm sure) my beach plant, I have identified a succulent of mine and she a cactus of hers ... hey, three from one ain't bad?

Sis, I was positive it was not a Kalanchoe.

Agaveman, thanks for looking ... we do put some odd ones up at times that get us all going ... agreeing/disagreeing/arguing ... that's what it's all about here. :D

 

Lol,

You had me stumped on this one but well done Marley for tracking it down.

The identification area is a good idea and good fun so keep them coming and who knows. One day I might get one right

 

That mam. looks good for being in the same pot 29 years Marley, dont think I can beat that record. :D

Steve, hope to be sending your bits and pieces off tomorrow.

LoL, look at the line in the text Marley came up with,
"can easily become a weed)

 

Agaveman, this is a good thread actually ... I use it a lot because I need you "Med guys" to help me out here ... not only me but my friend who owned a tropical gardening centre until last month and is a landscape gardener (as well as a preacher man) and writes in one of Algarves mags monthly on gardening here ... and asks me for advice all the time! :eek:

Ah, yes, pete ... but this one I've photographed is a "one alone" in this grouping of obviously many years ... so I think I'll take my chances. :D

 

Lol,

Where abouts in the Algarve are you ?

PM me if you want to try your hand at some rarer agave propagtion. They should do brilliantly in your climate and knock the socks of the a.americana's that you generally see around the med.

 

Evening, Agaveman.

I'm centrally located east to west and north to south ... around S�£o Bartolomeu de Messines, 20 minutes from the sea, 20 from the mountains, in the middle of the orange orchards.

There are many more than just the A americanas here ... just depends on where you look.

Thank you so much for the offer, however, I have a small garden and do not tend to do such and devote my time to more specialised and uncommon plants, albeit indigenous to places like Australia, South Africa, etc.

Again, thank you very much for the offer.

On second thoughts ... what do you have?
