Plus, they should all be hardy in our climate (zone 9b).Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-88148935137265016312014-02-05T01:37:39.167-08:002014-02-05T01:37:39.167-08:00Your timing is perfect Gerhard, it looks like they...Your timing is perfect Gerhard, it looks like they're all at their blooming prime.
