Austrocylindropuntia subulata Monstrose Form.

Tough as old boots, will take plenty of water in Spring-Autumn in well-drained compost.

A warm welcome, James - just ask away!

'Little Warty' indeed
which is a cross between G. batesiana and another hybrid 'Old Man Silver'.
When 'Little Warty' flowers you will see that it has the splendid "longiflorae" flowers so typical of G. batesiana.

Can anyone recommend a brand of pen which produces long-lasting labels? (Yes, I know, get a pencil, but they don't write too well on the glossy labels I buy).

I use STABILO® Write-4-all® Permanent Marker - Black F when I need an 'inked-label'.

Well done, Ralph!
How are last year's set coming along?

There's a moral in that story .... keep one in the car!

Or buy an iPhone!

The plumosa flower doesn’t look that red to me........

At least it is not white or yellow like all my others!

Lovely - seeing your perezdelarosae encouraged me to look into my greenhouse just now to see what was flowering amongst the mamms. First time I've managed to get out there this week! No perezdelarosae in flower. Several lasiacantha/magallanii (always early flowerers for me) but I also spotted these ...

See Chris L's post in For Sale - recommended for the keen enthusiast.
