| Okay, it seems the letter B has slowed down some now...so on to the 'C' plants!
Post your pix of plants starting with the letter C. It would be nice to keep it to genus names, because there really are a lot that begin with 'C'. But, if you don't have any...species, common name or cultivar beginning with the letter 'C' will do. :) It should be a plant you own now or your plant from the past. Have fun! And, yes, it's okay to post the same plant as someone else! I'll start with a Copiapoa. I can't remember the species name, but I think it starts with an 'h'. :) Hey, double points...there's a Crassula in the background of one pic!

| Hi Rosmarie, that is such a pretty yellow bloom so springtime! Penny, WOWOW what a neat plant I have never seen such , the color is just beautiful. Christopher, that is such a cute jade plant and it looks so nice in that little pot! Andrew, thats a very nice jade you have. *CG*, holy cow girl you have a great collection and this is only the C's! Your silver dollar jade is my faverite, I have never seen one here before, coarse we don't get a lot of neat plants in these parts. Hi Keith, your plants are as always picture perfect I am crazy about your cyphostemma! I dont have many C plants and my stuff is still dormant I may have kept them to dry this winter? Cephalopentandra ecirrhosa, I see it is starting to show some green! yay! some of my crown of thorns collection. |
|
| Hi Denise. love your dyckia, and the cibirhiza, anything with a caudex! |
|

| Kat: Wow! That is quite a collection of Crown-of-Thorns! :) *CG* |
|
- Posted by kaktuskris 5 (barharbor75@yahoo.com) on Wed, Feb 29, 12 at 21:01
| Katluvr, Yes, that IS quite a collection or Euphorbia milii! Are they all different? A mix of colours and small and large blooms? By the way, what are the plants to the left of your COTs? Pretty cool plant! Christopher |
|
| Denise, thank you for the pic of your Dyckia x Caberae! La di dah, I'm a broken record... "What a beautiful Dyckia, Denise! Blah blah!" :) So, let's see what I can pluck up for a few pictures... Cereus peruvianus 'Monstrose' from dear Stanley, C. 'Ivory Pagoda,' Cotyledon 'Happy Young Lady,' and C. cotyledonis. |
|
| Jessica, your Cereus forbesii monstrose is beautiful...hope it stays healthy or, if ill, returns to good health. I love that plant and will have to snatch one up sometime. |

|
|
| HI all, Great C plants! *CG* Thanks, the crown of thorns have really grown good for me , i kinda got carried away, i've got so many now! Hi Christopher, yes they are some yellow and different hades of red and 2 tone one real pretty speckled one and one that is green!I have some with tiny little blooms and some of them are almost the size of a half dollar, they have huge stems on them. but most are about the size of a quarter.Here is a couple of pics I cant find them all right now. |
|
Cylindropuntia Imbricata  Chad, |
|
| Awesome C-shots everybody! Sorry I'm late to the party. I'll make up for it with a row and a half of thumbnails.
Here we have Crassula streyi, Copiapoa haseltoniana, Cheiridopsis excavata, Cerochlamys pachyphylla, assorted Conophytums, Crassula nudicaulis v. herrei, Cotyledon orbiculata var. oblonga 'Macrantha', Cephalophyllum pillansi, Chasmatophyllum musculinum, Carruanthus caninus, Cheiridopsis bruynsii, Cheiridopsis peculiaris, and a caterpillar. Looks pretty succulent doesn't he? |

| OooEEe, Baby...lots of fabulous plants to comment on!! Cudos to all using thumbnails now! Way to go! Penny, Gotta love the pink of your 'C'! I had not see this one before (your other post). Christopher, nice 'Hummel's Sunset'! Andrew, I knew someone would post a C. ovata! =) Jessica, where to start? You reminded me of 'C' plants I forgot I had! What a wonderful collection! (I don't think your Cotyledon is the name you have for it. C. 'Tom Thumb' should look a pastel color. Is it? I'm not sure from the pic.) Thanks for the show! :) Keith, I knew we could count on you to show plants with names we hardly ever hear of...great specimens & terrific pots! Love the last shot w/fuzzies & pokies in the pic! Denise, thanks for the name-I had a brain fart. :P More unusual ones! Love the color of the Dyckia...I have a similar one~will show later. Ronda, Wow, what a collection of Crown of Thorns! Thanks for the additional bloom pix! Neat! Colleen, I think you're like me...I can't pick just one photo of each plant! LOL Another one I lost...'Ivory Pagoda'. (I think your Cotyledon is 'Oophylla'.) Rina, nice plants! I think the 1st one is going by Austrocylindropuntia subulata these days. Not so sure the other one is named correctly...but can't say for sure which, or if it is a Cereus. (An FYI, if you're interested: the plant's species name~2nd one~is never capitalized) Chad that is one POKEY plant you have there! :P Ryan, Neat plants! Great to see your plant production, babies & otherwise! Thanks for naming them all-I see one I've wanted a long while: Cheiridopsis peculiaris! Cool caterpillar! (Also some new names in there for me! ) Okay...my plants (names on the pix)...several Crassula...'Campfire' from Feb (end of 2nd row) & Apr of 09: Click for larger view

| Wow, Rosemarie, we can't compete with you! What a collection! Christopher |
|
- Posted by rosemariero6 z10 /ss24 So. Calif. (My Page) on Sat, Mar 3, 12 at 19:18
| Thanks, Christopher! I don't think of it as a competition. I just figure since I have a gazillion pix of my plants, I might as well share my obsessed collection with folks who appreciate them, having the same habit...er, hobby. :D (There are MANY more in the letter 'C'!) |
|
| Oh, thank you for the ID! And, wow, yes, there are so many "C" plants, but it's just a matter of how obsessed you are/how many of them you've actually got! :) Evidently I don't have enough when it comes down to it. If only I were able to plant in the ground, I'd be more equipped to buy like a nutcase. The 'Morgan's Beauty' is stunning, and the Cotyledons have some gorgeous blooms. ... I just want us to get to "H" so everyone's forced to come out of the woodwork with massive amounts of Haw pics. :) |
|
| Ro, Your Cotyledons are magnificent! Also, the C. deceptor... whoa Nelly! I'd be glad to send you a pair of the peculiaris when they're ready. |
|
Conophytum springbokensis  |
|
| Rosemarie, well, surprising to me, Cotyledon 'Happy Young Lady' is acknowledged on Dave's Garden. I'm having a tough time discerning differences between it and Cotyledon 'Oophylla' based on some images. Hrmm. It's certainly not a plant I know anything about. |
|
| Caudex Love to see photos of any of your plants - so beautifully displayed! (Hope I remember correctly - you make the pots? Beautiful...) Rosemary, thank you for correcting, I appreciate - anytime. The Cereus had a name tag when I bought it- I guess that still could be wrong? Thnx. Rina |
|
- Posted by rosemariero6 z10 /ss24 So. Calif. (My Page) on Sun, Mar 4, 12 at 11:23
| Thanks, Ryan! And doubly so...for offer of the C.p.! :P Another fabulous potted specimen, Keith! Colleen, I saw that at DG, but I have never trusted IDs there (like any place these days) ~thy upload whatever they "think" it is, & don't always check for accuracy. If/when it blooms, post some detailed pix & I'll tell you how to measure-we can check against some facts. Yes, Rina, tags are often incorrect. When I get a few minutes, I'll do some research & get back to you. But, we're painting the living room today & I need to remove stuff from the walls. |

| A little late to the 'C' party... Commiphora humbertii (dead) or dormant...preferably the latter Commiphora monstruosa Cereus peruvianus monstrose T |
|
- Posted by kaktuskris 5 (barharbor75@yahoo.com) on Sun, Mar 4, 12 at 22:27
| Rosemarie: Amazing collection you have there. But it sure helps to live in southern California! katluvr: Nice COT cyathia! I like the ones with the largest blooms the best, the Thai hybrids. Again, what are those plants next to your COTs, cacti? Tom: Cereusly, one nice Cereus you have there! Christopher |
|
- Posted by rosemariero6 z10 /ss24 So. Calif. (My Page) on Mon, Mar 5, 12 at 13:28
| Never too late, Tom!! A couple more I don't see much...your Commiphora! And that Cereus is HUGE! Nice plants! Thanks, Christopher! Yes, being in so. Cal is 90% of it! |
|
- Posted by rosemariero6 z10 /ss24 So. Calif. (My Page) on Mon, Mar 5, 12 at 13:32
| Oh yeah, Christopher...in case katluvr doesn't come back with an answer for you soon...I believe those plants to the left of the COTs are Myrtillocactus geometrizans forma cristata. |
|
| Hi Christopher, a so sorry I ment to answer your Question and then I got side tracked and forgot! The older I get the more I suffer from CRS! Rosemarie is correct those are myrtillocactus geometrizans crests I have several, they are one of my favorite plants and I will be rooting more this summer. Tom beautiful cereus, that is now on my want list, great bonsai plants ! |
|
| There sure are a lot of great Crassulas! Crassula orbicularis and Little Gem encroaching on each other's territory. Penny |

Cereus peruvianus monstrose  |
|
| Hi everyone, I'm a newb to this forum in Garden Web and I was passing through, but I just wanted to say that I am enjoying these Alphabet Game threads very much. Your pictures are amazing! I have never seen so many unusual (and beautiful) plants. It's a real pleasure to scroll through these pictures, and by the way I especially love seeing the plants in pots in your home instead of those super pristine catalogs, they just feel more alive and have more personality when they're hanging in front of a window or draping over a door. These threads are a lot of fun, wish I had more interesting plants to share with you too, but thank you for showing us yours! |
|

| Welcome, Astroknot (fun name) & thanks!! I'm wondering...would you like them if they had spider webs all over them & grass & weeds growing up through them?! LOL Ha ha...because I just finished shooting a mess of pix of plants just like that! As far from pristine as you can get! Even though you don't have plants to share...if you're going to hang around the forum, you could go post your mugshot on "The Face Returns, pt2" thread...which would help folks get to know you better! There are many more letters of the alphabet coming!! =D |
|
| Hello Astroknot! You might see a succulent or cactus at a store that you like and buy it. Of course, one plant will lead to another and you know how that goes. It's a nice hobby. Glad you enjoy the photos! |
|
- Posted by kaktuskris 5 (barharbor75@yahoo.com) on Tue, Mar 6, 12 at 19:21
| Thanks Rosemarie and katluvr. Just love the looks of that cactus! Christopher |
|
| Rosemarie -- thanks, I will go introduce myself in "The Face Returns" thread once I get myself organized around here (gotta find a good mug of myself, hah!). And the overgrowth and spiderwebbing happens to my plants all the time, but I do love a good "spring cleaning" now and then where I pick out the weeds and repot and give my plants a nice trim. Pennyhal -- oh, I know all about the "I'll just buy this one plant" because I get sucked in all the time! I'm more of a "growing things from seed" rather than buying ones from a store, but I always, always end up with way more plants than I can take care of. Unfortunately, that usually means that they don't do so well if I get busy:(. I'm in the process of rebuilding my garden, so hopefully I'll be able to share pictures in a few months once they get going. |

| Very nice plants, longaeva (what's your name?) & Glenn! I don't think I've ever seen a variegated monstrose plant. :) Glenn, I see we have some of the same plants. Here's another batch of Crassula...names on the pix:
I still have another group to post. It'll have to wait! |
|
| Love the Hummel's Sunsets colors. Pagoda Village was aptly named! Waiting for the next batch, Rosemarie. Penny |
