kaowinston succulents

The British Cactus and Succulents Society ' National Show' where its members are encouraged to show their best exemplars of succulent plants and compete for awards, comes around every three years. The show also provides an opportunity for the public to buy cacti and succulents. Last year's show was a tremendous success as some of these photo will show. More photos are available at my webshots link below.

ID PLEASE ?

Thu, 05 Mar 2009 22:10:42 +0100

I came across this agave in a park in Rabat, in Morocco. But I cannot place the identity. Can you come up with the correct name? Its stems are less than a foot in length, and it appears to bloom very early, considering its size.

Euphorbia Punicea

Fri, 02 Jan 2009 18:14:29 +0100

Currently, this is one of my favourite plants. I am still struggling to grow one of my own. Originally from Jamaica, and found in other Caribbean islands, the E. punicea is a joy to the eye. These photos were taken at the Fairchild Tropical Garden, in south Miami.

Uncarina Fruits

Sat, 08 Nov 2008 20:20:19 +0100

The flowers of the Uncarina species are rather striking. Usually yellow they will light any garden. Also striking and unusal, are the fruits produced. These spine like appendages should never be tackled with bare hands, unless you want an injury. The fruits need at least six months to mature. Eventually, they would turn brown and fall off the trees, which mean the seeds are ready for germination..

Around my Greenhouse

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:42:57 +0200

Photographs which describe plant activity in, and around my greenhouse. Living urban and with a UK climate, the greenhouse is always stretched to capacity. Without it, most succulents would not bloom. It certainly prolongs the life of many plants, especially when the cold and the low temperature takes over. To stay in the greenhouse, I must be convinced that they would survive left out there. Otherwise, they are dragged indoors, possibly finding some space in a room corner, or in the basement.

Hesperaloe Parviflora

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 00:16:56 +0200

A young hesperaloe parviflora which can make an attractive addition to your garden. These are miniture agaves, distant cousin to the larger varieties, and they are still waiting to be discovered by a wider population.

They are quite cold hardy, and should easily be able to survive in a sheltered garden position. When mature they produce red flowers, in flower stalks which can reach around
five feet tall.

To flourish in pots, they prefer to be grown in a well drained soil, in very deep pots. Like most agaves from Mexico they grow well during winter months. These photos of the young plant were taken at the Oxford Botanical Garden.

Check out kaowinston ebay page, and you can bid on a young plant.
