Wonderful John! Aurora seems to be a great improvement over other of this type. These really enjoy being outside for the summer. Do you grow Dudleyas too? They are spectacular in California but I suspect our rains might clean them green.
@John: I grow only one Dudleya but keep it under glass to avoid damaging its excellent white wax. Is 'aurora' available in Canada? It's a great chimaeral variegation.
@John: Don't know yet - have A. parryi var huachuchensis on the new rock garden. Another clone has thriven on the rock garden at my parents' garden (much milder) for 20 years.
Great photos John.
ReplyDeleteI love these closeups - I struggle to photo succulents so I might try to get some real close ups instead
ReplyDeleteI have just started growing succulents - saw them in Kenya and got hooked

ReplyDelete@Catharine Howard: Where in Kenya did you see them? There is a wonderful selection of succulents in the gardens there.
ReplyDeleteJohn - I haven't seen Aurora about but in may be in Toronto or Vancouver. Are any Agaves winter-hardy in the Cotwolds?
