| Pleiospilos compactus | |
|
The first flower on a young plant grown from seed collected near Prince Albert, South Africa. |
|
TOP RIGHT: The same plant as above but a year later BOTTOM LEFT: A larger-leaved form: P. compactus ssp. canus |
|
From the same seed as the top photo except that this one was grown in a location that only got morning sun. The leaves are skinny and stretched in comparison. |
| Pleiospilos nelii | |
|
This one was growing in a somewhat shady location and grew too fast. It became leggy and was pulled out, the stems were rooted and transplanted elsewhere. |
|
These young plants were seeded directly in the garden. |
| Pleiospilos simulans | |
|
Young plants put out about 3 months before this picture was taken |
