An attractive South African species from a variable genus that contains diverse plants such as vining, scandent species and thick, succulent, stone-like plants. This species looks as though it may be related to Kalanchoe or similar plants, but for the distinctive bloom, with it they typical red pom-pom bloom of many Senecio species. This species has a tall succulent stem that will form adventitious offsets, with succulent leaves that look like Myrtle leaves, green with a coat of silvery tomentum.

AKA the ‘Inchworm Plant.’ A caulescent species from the Arabian Peninsula with rounded, segmented stems that undulate along the ground surface, rooting at internodes. Bright crimson flowers. Makes an interesting hanging pot. Segments break off very easily, so in shipping this often happens. They can be laid out on the surface of a pot of soil, slightly nested into the media, and they will root in a short time to form a new plant.

Senecio peregrinus is popularly known as the 'String of Dolphins' plant. Although constantly labelled as a species, this plant is really a hybrid between Senecio rowleyanus 'String of Pearls' and Senecio articulatus. The leaves are curved with two points midway down the leaf which gives the appearance of a dolphin. This plant has a pendant, trailing habit with white flowers from May to June. 

This plant prefers bright filtered light, keeping it on the dry side. If the temperature drops below 50 degrees, bring it inside! It is not cold hardy. 

A unique addition to any succulent collection.

This nice plant is an accidental hybrid where we only know the seed parent which is Sincoraea albopicta. The plant does not look like pure albopicta so it must be the result of an unintended pollination in our greenhouse. The other plant will remain a mystery but because of the form of the plant we suspect that is might be an Sincoraea burlemarxii or another Sincoraea at least. A smallish to medium grower reaching only about 14 inches across with narrow leaves that are still and well armed with small but stout spines. The color is green with faint reddish banding. At anthesis the center whorl of leaves turns bright red with some silver scurffing and the nidular inflorescence has bright red sepals.

Sponge rock, also known by the name expanded perlite, is a very common ingredient in orchid mixes. Sponge rock decreases compaction of mix, increases aeration and retains moisture.

A natural hybrid of Till. argentina x tenuifolia. A clustering plant with very stiff, dark gray leaves tapering to a sharp point. The inflorescence is a lanceolate scape of pink with lavender flowers with an open corolla. Overall the plant takes more characteristics from the argentina parent.

A stunning hybrid of (chiapensis x tricolor) takes on the very best of both species. In general the shape is like that of tricolor, an open rosette of narrow, fairly stiff leaves. They differ from the wide leaves of chiapensis but take on the silvery coloration of that species. The inflorescence is taller than the foliage, with a central spike and three or four side branches, rather like the shape of the tricolor parent. The color is glossy red in the center with a dusting of silver trichomes towards the margins, which appear pink. Immature branches are yellow and flowers blue. A very colorful hybrid! 

An apparent natural hybrid from Mexico of (brachycaulos x paucifolia) as identified by Harry Luther. After acquiring the plant, Bill Timm made a note to ‘Ask Harry’ and I guess the name stuck. Wouldn’t have been my pick, but it is what it is. Anyway, this is a handsome little plant in an upright vase shape of stiff, deeply channeled leaves that are reddish with light silver banding. The inflorescence is fairly short, may or may not branch and is pink with blue flowers. Showy plants. 

A hybrid of (brachycaulos x streptophylla) by Paterson. A plant of variable size that may flower from 5 to 10 inches tall. Somewhat bulbous and upright, the leaves are reddish and lepidote, blushing red at anthesis. The inflorescence is capitate with blue flowers.
