Huernia thuretii var. primulina
Huernia thuretii var. primulina, also known as Huernia primulina, is a small, much-branched succulent that forms dense clumps of green, erect, 4– to 5-angled stems with very sharp teeth along the edges. The stems are up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick, excluding the teeth. The stems are mottled with pink and purple in bright sunlight.

Stapeliads are succulent relatives of the milkweeds with striking 5-pointed flowers. Their flowers are beautiful, but in most cases they emit foul odors in order to attract flies which pollinate them. Though long placed in the Milkweed Family (Asclepiadaceae), they and their milkweed cousins have now been merged into the Apocynaceae, or Dogbane Family.

Huernia thuretii var. primulina comes into flower at the end of the summer and blooms through the fall months. The flowers emerge on short stalks from the bases of the stems, and they are an inch or a little more in diameter (2.5 – 3 cm). The outer part of the flower is the pale-yellow corolla, with its 5 triangular lobes forming a 5-pointed star. At the middle is a cup-like depression with the black-purple corona nested within. A few for sale at the greenhouse.

Encephalartos horridus
Encephalartos horridus, the Eastern Cape blue cycad, is a small, low-growing cycad up to 0.9 m (3.0 ft) high and 0.9 m (3.0 ft) wide. It is a native of Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, and found in arid shrublands, most commonly on ridges and slopes with shallow soils. The species is particularly known for its distinctly blue-gray leaves, although the degree of coloration can vary significantl...

This is a very hardy, adaptable, relatively slow-growing cycad and suited to temperate and subtropical regions. It is best not planted too closely to paths, requires full sun and excellent drainage, not too much water; tolerates light to moderate frosts and needs slightly acidic soil. In cultivation male cones will often cone several times a year in succession and the dwarf nature of the plant may disappear. A few for sale at the greenhouse.

Euphorbia abdelkuri
We have a few of these for sale at the greenhouse.
It has no spine and is columnar in shape, with stems that are cylindrical. The color of Euphorbia abdelkuri ranges from ash-gray to greenish-gray.
When fully mature, they can reach a height of 6 feet and can form 5 feet of clumps. It has yellowish nectar glands and somewhat looks like a gray candle with melted wax on top of it.

Euphorbia abdelkuri needs full sun, which means they need to get direct sunlight for at least six hours on a daily basis. They might need protection from the afternoon sun depending on how strong the sun in your region is.
You can identify this by looking for burns or yellow coloring when exposed to too much sun. But typically, they grow well when planted outdoors in a sunny spot.
