I’m a new convert to succulents, proving that an old dog really can learn new tricks as I think I might be falling in love with these low maintenance lovelies! My younger self thought them quite ugly but now, wisened by experience, I look upon their myriad textures and forms as something of beauty and sophistication.
Such was my excitement at a bit of indoor gardening this week after my purchase of a few more succulents and in my haste to get them all re-potted into the right compost, I have forgotten to note which gorgeous one was which! So, for this week’s #SixonSaturday, it’s a game of ‘Who Can Name the Succulent?’
Round One can be multiple choice! The following three succulents are one of the following: Haworthia Lymifolia, Crassula Ovata or Haworthia Pentagonia. Can you match the name to the succulent?



Round Two, you are playing blind. Can you name any or all of these three succulents?



Now we have our six, I’ll tell you in a post next week why I’m falling in love with these happy-go-lucky houseplants and maybe inspire you to grow a few. Sure, inspiring each other to grow more and varied plants is what it’s all about for our pleasure, our health, our well-being and ultimately, our sustainability on the planet.

I look forward to your Succulent Quiz answers in the comments and enjoy reading other #SixonSaturday blogs for information and inspiration – you’ll find them posted on The Propagator’s Blog and on Twitter on the #SixonSaturday hashtag. The Pink Wheelbarrow can be found on Twitter too at @PinkWheelbarrow.

OK, I’m going to take the plunge. The first three are in the order you give the names. 4 is an Aloe, not sure which, arborescens, camperi, ferox and vera all seemed contenders. 5 I don’t know and can’t find a good match for, Haworthia seems the most likely. Six I think is Aloe variegata though it’s usually much stockier. Please don’t think I know what I’m talking about, I don’t. I just happen to have a couple of books on succulents.

Thanks for playing Jim! I’m not too fussed if I don’t manage to name them all but would be nice to know if possible – for when I want to buy more! Many thanks for the advice!
