Thanks Brian & Richaud,

When i did some seach on google, i think bergeranthus is a better match. And it is interesting, i have another pot of bergeranthus... and it is not in flower this time. They are from different sources and i think they respond to different stimulus.

A heat tolerant mesemb. I don;t know the name ? Could it be a Bergeranthus? The flower opens in the evening.

After visiting Thailand and observing the same plant over 2 years...i concluded that Aloinopsis rubrolineata is one of a few mesembs that can grow in the equatorial tropics, joining faucaria and glottiphyllum. Will try to get one to try one this year.

I certainly do not know what it is. But it makes a very nice bonsai!

Hello,

And last year i got another plant: (http://www.specks-exotica.com/en/photo/ ... hizobasis/ ). The branching of the east african form is rather unusual.

I've a pterodiscus species that's self fertile and it is always setting fruits. When i checked the matured and dried pods, there seeds are well formed. However nothing germinate when i sow them. Do pterodiscus seeds need some form of rest - either for the embryo to form or for some germination inhib...
