First Trip to Farmers Garden - Araneta Center: I Bought 7 Big-Size Succulents!

Hello, plantmates! It's been a while since I went to Metro Manila, and luckily, I had a chance to visit the Farmers Garden at Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City for the first time (last February 20th)!

Nababasa ko lang sa TSCP group na maraming succulent stores dito. Some of the succulent growers in Benguet are also posting that they have physical stores in this area.

Fortunately for me, mukhang kakadating lang ng new stocks ng Benida's Cacti & Succulents. The left rack is full as well as the crates in the middle of the shop. I wanna buy them all LOL!

I can't carry them all, though, so I just handpicked 7 succulents (medyo nagpigil pa ako nun dahil kasama ko si PM at maiinip sya sa tagal kong pumili haha).

Sobrang nakakatuwa dahil P50 each lang ung nasa left rack! 😍 So if you guys have time to visit the garden center, don't miss the opportunity! Madaming stocks and meron ring 3 for 100 succulents. 

Here's my plant haul from Farmers Garden:

 

x Graptoveria 'Koala'

This one looks like Graptosedum 'Ghosty', but it's not. Ghosty tend to have pinkish-to-purple undertones, while Koala got yellow-to-orange undertones. Ghosty has smoother surface on topside of leaves, while Koala has dents or subtle lines on the surface of its leaves. 

x Graptoveria 'Koala'

Graptopetalum 'Purple Delight'

This is the biggest Purple Delight I've seen in my life so far! Haha!

Echeveria 'Pollux'

Got myself lucky with this Echeveria Pollux na chubby ang leaves! It has similarities with Echeveria lilacina, but Pollux has flatter and wider leaves.

Echeveria 'Monroe'

This succulent's fine farina and undertone made it look like it's glowing! Sobrang ganda sa personal!

Echeveria 'Dr. Butterfield'

This one is commonly labeled as Echeveria runyonii / Echeveria Lucita, but this one with thinner and flatter leaves is Echeveria' Dr. Butterfield'. This is 'that' succulent na sobrang bilis magkaroon ng offsets.

x Cremnosedum 'Crocodile'

I've been looking forward to grab this for some time now. Buti nakita ko sya! 

I'll share new pictures as soon as I have them potted!
