MARCH - Desperately Dry Plants
I am sure our plants begging for a drink, so here is the chance to take a shot before you start watering.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

Re: MARCH - Desperately Dry Plants
You are not getting much trade so far Liz, so I presume a plant in habitat would qualify too?

Re: MARCH - Desperately Dry Plants
That looks dry enough for me. Since everyone out there is just looking at the moment, perhaps I can inspire you with a couple of my dried up plants.
Maybe not dried up but certainly curled up, Aloe ruffingianum
followed by A nicely wrinkled cylindropuntia tunicata

I think you are correct Tony, it looks like the labels got mixed up. I'll put it right.

Re: MARCH - Desperately Dry Plants
I went out mid-morning to return my sales plants to the greenhouse after last nights meeting and I found this plant in the middle of the patio. There was a Rhipsalis perched on top of the tap ready to turn the water on with it's trailing stems, but sadly it managed to scarper before I could take it's picture.
