Re: Gymno - best value for beginners?
I’ve always been put off gymnos by those horrible coloured monstrosities you see grafted on hylocereus. I also think mihanovichii is pretty ugly. However, I picked up a couple of those plants last year (armatum and eytianum), which has got me a bit more interested. I’ve now got 10 or so, many of wh...

Re: Is this discolouration caused by a fungus?
Is it just on one side or on both?
If it’s just on one side it could be scorch. If it’s all over I’d say red spider mite was a possibility.

Re: A friend calls this the spikey cucumber
Very nice.
I’ve got a few echinocereus in bud at the moment- looking forward to seeing the flowers!

Re: First Pterocactus of the year
Thanks Ray, really appreciated.
I’ve got a couple of megliolii plants that I think have collection numbers but I pretty much cut them back to ground level last year. More than happy to share cuttings when I have some.

Re: First Pterocactus of the year
Ray, Ralph (or anyone in fact) - I don’t have loads to trade but if you ever want to swap any bits of pteros I’d be more than happy to oblige. I’m looking for gonjianii and hickenii particularly but always happy to pick up something else I don’t have.

Re: Rebutia and Aylostera flowers
Thanks Ralph. This was bought from a nursery where I’ve had some questionably named plants in the past as well so more than happy to be corrected here.

Re: Rebutia and Aylostera flowers
I bought that from plantlifecactus on ebay. Might be worth getting in touch with Stuart to see if he has any more.

Re: Rebutia and Aylostera flowers
Just realised I can black out the background using my iphone- think I’ll use this a bit more in future.
