Euphoria Milii- large yellow flowers. I love these lines of Euphorbias. They are easy to grow and propagate. Just remember to callous the cuttings before planting them or else they will rot. I got this plant a year ago, planted in a 2 " pot- look at it now. Fertilize regularly with a slow release fertilizer, like Osmocote.

I have no  name for this plant. It was given by a friend and it didn't have any label. It is not very common. I love the way it fills out the  shallow pot. Easy to grow. Please comment if you know the name of this plant.

STAPELIA GIGANTEA
Giant Carrion flower. This plant is easily propagated from cuttings, which should be left out for at least a week  to form callus tissue before they are planted. a fair amount of water is tolerated during the active growth period in the summer.  must keep plant  fairly dry during winter months.

I am looking for this curly plant. I know it is available here in California but have not seen it in the nurseries I have visited. I don't even have the name for it. I saw a picture online that it also produce a yellowish flower. Will post again when I learn more about this plant.

Echeveria Lola. I love echeverias, but this one is my favorite. My grandchildren calls me LOLA (grandma in Tagalog).  This is easy to grow and propagate- takes partial shade. You have to watch out for mealy bugs as they love this kid of succulent. I maintain it by spraying it with alcohol once in a while or as soon as I see Mealy bug infestation.

I got this plant from a member of Succulent Infatuation group as a trade for my Stapelia variegata. It has a bloom ready to open. So excited to see the red flower. I love to trade plants with other succulent lovers- USA only.
