Hybrid tangerines in NY!
Aloe pillansii, protected in a greenhouse
Aloe polyphylla, ready for a bigger underground pot
Aloe dichotoma between some hardy Yuccas. It is approaching 6-feet tall, when might it bloom???
Cyphostemma juttae, with messy looking leaves
Echinocactus grusonii, the golden barrel
Aloe 'Hercules', also approaching 6-ft - when do they branch?
Hibiscus always look great

| Looks like everyone is doing well out in the fresh air. I love the Aloe polyphylla, it is so symetrical. Tangerines in NY? That would have made the Pilgrims happy! |

| Love the Pachy and Aloe poly. I starting to contemplate a golden barrel cactus for the garden as well. I think they bring something new to a garden./ Thanks for the pics. |

| Mr. X: Great stuff, of course! My question on your A. poly - if you bury the pot as you do, does the plant then tolerate LI heat waves without missing a beat? I.e., is it in a full sun site during the heat of our northeast summer and not missing a beat? Thanks. T |

| Mr. T - yes the a.p. is in full sun and does not appear to react negatively to heat waves. x |

| XMark, Fabulous collage of some of your big and small plants. I don't think I've seen an A. d. that hadn't branched in flower. And the A. p. - what a crown of leaves for a prince(ss) of an Aloe. I question I beg an answer for, though - where did you get your C. uter? I am willing to cash out my 401K for it, so don't hold back. |
