Agaves in the Stanford Cactus Garden!

1/31/2014

 
I went to the Arizona Garden at Stanford yesterday to do some reading, and it was absolutely gorgeous!  I thought I'd share some of my favorites.

So...  what have YOU all been up to lately?

A Winter Game!

1/3/2014

 
Greetings, Succ-ers!  Happy New Year!  It's been a looong while since I've written anything for you, regrettably occupied as I have been with thus-far unsuccessful job applications and canine histiocytic sarcoma.  But here I am to play a game!  A GAME!  YAY!!!!

Okay, the name of this game is Guess What This Succulent Was Before Everything Froze.  Below, you'll find pictures of eight different kinds of succulents and all of their names, but I have cleverly switched the names around.  Think you can rearrange them into the correct order?

1. Agave desmettiana variegata

2. Cotyledon tomentosa

3. Gasteria "Fuji Yuki"

4. Blue chalk sticks (senecio vitalis serpens)

5. Crassula ovata

6. Aeonium

7. Crassula pellucida variegata

8. Crassula "ivory pagoda"

9. Anacampseros telephiastrum

10. Crassula falcata

Yeah...  It's been a frosty winter here in Northern CA.  And although I managed to get most of my succulents indoors before the frosts started hitting, I didn't quite make it to all of them, and these poor things are among the casualties.

I promise that my next post will be a little less sardonic.  ;)  And in case anyone's interested, here are the answers to Guess What This Succulent Was Before Everything Froze:
  1. Aeonium
  2. Crassula "ivory pagoda"
  3. Cotyledon tomentosa
  4. Crassula ovata
  5. Crassula pellucida variegata
  6. Agave desmettiana variegata
  7. Gasteria "Fuji Yuki"
  8. Blue chalk sticks (senecio vitalis serpens)
  9. Crassula falcata
  10. Anacampseros telephiastrum
