Here's some newbies. (Sorry more plant posting, lol.) Some Haworthia, a Gasterhaworthia, an agave and a hoya.

My nursery had the two at the top, so I couldn't help it (H. tessellata and H. attenuata "Concolor" or something like that I think.)

All my plants probably kind of look the same, but I like a certain 'look' I guess. I have a Hoya carnosa growing in a semi-hydroponic set-up, and I don't know if the new one will like that if I try to convert it. It is a carnosa cross so we'll see. (I know, not a succulent, but honorary succulent-ish.)

I also got a Hatiora salicornioides (Dancing Bones cactus) start, but it is just starting and my mom gave me a ric-rac/fishbone cactus (Epiphyllum anguliger) that I hope perks up with some more light.

Anyways those are a few.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday and a great rest of your week!

Very nice Jen! I like Haworthias too, I think we all have our favorite species that we like to collect. What is the name of that plant in the last photo? I've been keeping my eyes open for one of those.

I also like Fishbone cactus too, I need to locate one of those as well.

It's Haworthia retusa. It's one of my favorite. I know Haworthia can send out some deeper roots, so this pot is kind of shallow, but I read somewhere that they pup more/a lot in shallower pots. I think the next time they need a bigger pot, I'm going to try to mound up the soil more or something so the ones in the middle don't get pushed out of the substrate by the others. I don't know if that will help anything, or make a mess, but we'll see (thinking in advance for the cymbiformis (the original) mostly).

The plant is a little taller than you can see in the picture (it's actually huge, Triceratops are very big ). It looks kind of mangy with the hard water spots and scars, but I like looking at it a lot (in person anyways).

Hope you are having a great one out there, TwoCrows!

I can see why you like this plant, it just has that nice appeal! I didn't know that about the pupping and the shallow roots with Haworthias, maybe that's why my Zebra Haworthia has pupped like mad? It's in a shallow bowl too. I just love your plant here and the Triceratops is perfect in there too! I need more decorations for my plants. The only thing I have is a Travel Trailer and a rock that sit under my Pony Palm. (Somebody has to go on vacation under the palm trees because it certainly isn't me! ) Anyway that is a beautiful plant Jen!

Oh, I like the travel trailer a lot, I mean who wouldn't rock a cute camper like that? I sometimes live in a camper almost a quarter of the year, so that would definitely fit my genre. (And of course we've lost wheels, flipped campers, we got pulled over in TX for "being lost," we've jumped hitches and drug them sparks flying into tunnels by their safety chains (that was the tow-guys' fault ) so lots of memories (and they've all turned into good ones for the most part .)

But I'm with you. I'm mostly a home-body anymore and seems silly to travel so far when you can shear enough close to home.

Hope you didn't disturb that person's day at the beach (or wherever they're camping) to get the photo! Looks like a nice spot to camp, haha.

Yes I not only felt sorry for the guy for having this happen but every one jumped all over him for being so ignorant.

Because every one of those people WERE BORN KNOWING THIS, RIGHT???

Yeah, I thought not.

Isn't that a cute trailer? I'd definitely travel in it. Same here, we've lived in them, traveled in them, broke down in them... Good grief Jen, you've had a bit TOO many experiences in trailers. Trailer living, it's the life!

I think people conveniently forget what it's like to be new at something just so they can go off on others, maybe to look bigger or smarter. Humanity can be awful these days, little empathy.

Sadly, one way -- the worst way -- to build yourself up is to put someone else down.

Its awful! Yep, low self esteem. Wasn't anyone taught that if you don't have anything nice to say, not to say anything at all?!

Those are some gorgeous species, and all of those you’ve shared pictures of look great!

I think we annoy everyone a little too much with our plant antics, but
