Chris,
They are fine specimens. What is the diameter of them. I think you must get much better weather than we do in Edinburgh. Mine multiply well but I don't think I will ever get them to reach the size of yours.

A photo of mine today. Plenty of young ones for the future but the main 10 are producing flowers which may enhance the display for a while and then leave some gaps.

Thanks Chris,
That's really large - mine will never make that size.

Hej Graham
your will never reach that size,simply because they are something else! Most likely Orostachys thyrsiflora?

Hi Martin,
Welcome to the forum.
I bought it as spinosus but will now have to check.
Do you know how exactly to tell the difference.

Thanks Joseph,
I will consider these but wait until it flowers. I still think it is spinosus.
