More interesting plants

I have a couple more interesting plants to show you, if you have the time.

Anacampseros retusa.

This one is…. I was going to say it is one of my favorites, but they are all my favorites. Each one is a unique form of succulent that has my imagination reeling. It is called an Anacampseros retusa. Quite the mouthful for such a small plant. It, too, looks as if it is going to bloom, with three buds on the left stem, and one on the right. I will keep you updated.

We have several different varieties of this species, Anacampseros, but each is a different subspecies, if my research is correct. The ones we bought in LA are so small, it is difficult to determine exactly which subspecies they are. It appears that I have selected interesting ones, just in a very immature forms, at present. As they mature, I will continue to research what they are.

Species Anacampseros, circled in yellow. Crassula ovata, Gollum, circled in blue.

That is my story anyway.

Lastly, for today, is the Crassula ovata, circled in blue, in the above photo. This one is called Gollum, after the creature from the book “The Hobbit”, the prelude to the book, “The Lord of the Rings”, by J. R. R. Tolkien. Gollum ended up with small suction cups at the ends of his fingers, after his complete transformation, from the Hobbit called Sméagol, to the creature called Gollum. (Just a bit of trivia. I am good for something.)
