At this moment, I’m working on a series of posts about succulents and how they survive in nature. The plan is to publish them interspersed with the usual posts and as the regular visitors have come to expect, the visual aspect will play a very important role.
As a kick off, I have created a new picture gallery with 70+ pictures showing the enormous range in size, shape and general morphology of (mainly South African) succulents.
If you would feel like making a comment, either positive or negative, please do!
Had a look through all of them, thank you for the show!
The Aloe variegata looked quite small, is this due to the angle, or are they usually this small in nature?
Thanks for your remarks. I think the plants were so small because they were in the open and growing in very sandy soil. Under other conditions they may be rather bigger.
What a world of wonder!
Thank you
Margaret
Thanks for your comment; I’m glad you liked the pictures!
Hello Frans,
fantastic pictures and a lot of work what you did.
Do you have from the Trichodiadema spez fotos from the flower and from the seed capsule. In which area does it occur?
Hello Reinhardt,
Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately I have no pics of the details you are interested in, but I can tell you that the plants grow near Matjiesfontein.
Halo Frans, Baie interesant, ek het nie nou die tyd om dit volledig te besigtig maar na Skotland sal elk wel Groete George
Dankie George en geniet jou trip.
