had bought a bunch of small pieces of Succulents at the moving sale of
Shoalcreek Succulents a couple of years ago. Most were initially slow
to establish and some of them are still difficult to grow around here.
( A good fungicide is essential), but there are some happy success
stories. Huernia kennedyana x Stapelianthus arenarius surprised me yesterday with a very cute flower, about one inch in size. |

Frerea indica is an easier grower. This is Frerea indica x Caralluma europaea |

I had picked up a nice basket of Huernia zebrina at the Parkside Orchid Fest in July 2006. It is well established and year around in bloom. |
