Some pictures from the succulent show
The Johannesburg Succulent Society had its spring show about 10 days ago. It was very quiet, probably because the dates they chose coincided with the rugby world cup semi-finals although it couldn't have been predicted whether the national team would have made it that far. Sports-mad nations.... But, on to more interesting things in my book
Lopophora williamsii, aka Peyote, in flower
Another very slow-growing and collectable cactus, Ariocarpus retusus
I don't know what this is but the flowers were great
More spring flowers, Adenium arabicum
Another caudex plant, Pachypodium horombense
Euphorbia species:
Euphorbia multiceps
Euphorbia horrida
Finally, before you experience death by scrolling:
Crassula mesembryanthenopsis
Pelargonium tetragonum which looks a bit like Euphorbia, until it flowers
As usual, there was a beautiful selection of plants on show, these picture are just a few of the many that caught my eye. I showed what I brought home here
So lovely! excellent shots!!
Thank you!

Wow! Strange looking plants which I have never seen before!! They look like they are from another world!
Only this same one
So they are pretending to be different!
What a variety of strange looking succulent. I don't think I have seen any of them before. The Crassula mesembryanthenopsis looks like pepples.
These are the rarer and more difficult to grow succulents that not many people keep
I see. 👍 😊
Beautiful .. flowers on succulents knock my socks off...
Where did you find THAT image? 😁

Excelentes imágenes amiga. Ninguno de ellos los conozco. Que flores tan hermosas. Gracias por compartir esta información. Un abrazo.
Thank you, I'm glad you like them. Except for the cacti, these are all the rarer and more unusual plants from my country
Acá se consigue la que tienes de cuarta foto, con el nombre de, Flor del desierto. Las hay en muchos colores, blancas, rojas, rosadas, matizadas.
Yes, those are sold world-wide
Lovely shots of the succulents. The 2nd from last one looks like a brain. 😊

Wow they are all blooming is it spring over there?

Yes it is, but many of our native succulents bloom in autumn and winter
Next january is just around the bend, hopefully my orchids will start blooming again.

Orchids can be tricky. I have read that they need to be exposed to natural light as much as possible, it's the lengthening and shortening of days that triggers flowering. Once I moved them out of a room where the light was on for long periods at night, some got flowering although others are still defying me
My rare orchids are good at defying me. The simpler common ones are already sending up stalks.
