I have an aloe. He has never flowered. Can't really blame the chap, he lives in my house in the north country. Just glad I've managed to keep him alive this long....
I think the reason that succulents do so well here in Alameda is that we have sandy, well-draining soil and that is their number one requirement. They hate having wet feet!
I love your succulent varieties, some I haven't seen before! I recently started making succulent gardens and giving them as gifts. Seem to be a hit so far!I'm thinking of selling them, check them out and see what you think! www.loft32.blogspot.com

What a lovely looking plant! What sort of growing conditions do they require to thrive?
