Re: First time in Flower
Ralph, which sp. is this? I've got O. pseudofossulatus as tall as I am and I'm ever hopeful that it'll flower one day :grin: It's growth rate has been relatively much faster than your Dad's plant. It's labelled as O. fossulatus. However, my dad grew several Oreocereus spp. from seed. I know its not...

Re: Lobivia haagii
Nice flower, but its not Rebutia pygmaea. What does that have to do with it, you might ask? Well, Rausch (mistakenly) considered Mediolobivias to be Lobivias at one time, so this name would be referable to Mediolobivia haagei, which is a name for a pale pink form of Aylostera pygmaea. While your flo...

Nice cheerful plant for a dull day (at least it has been here).

First time in Flower
My father originally grew this Oreocerus from seed, over 50 years ago, and it has flowered for the first time! It's about 1m tall.

Re: First Pterocactus of the year
hi Ian,
many of mine suffered last winter, but I hope to have a few spares soon, and will let you know.
All the best
Ralph

Re: Schlumbergera lutea ssp. bradeyi (typo corrected in title)
I had mine for 2 or 3 years before it really started growing much, but then got a lot faster. I guess it needs to develop a good root system first.

Re: And some more variation ;)
This is my LF1153 - looking just as I would expect for A. oculata. Purple stamens, petals red towards tips with more orange-yellow base, long spined.

Re: File size
For those of you worried about having to learn a new piece of software, you could try this https://imageresizer.com/ where you upload an image by drag and drop, set a target size, and it will resize it and overwrite the original (by default). Easy-Peasy. (I tried it once and it seemed OK, but I woul...

Re: Pachypodium Brevicaule
I keep mine at 15C and water it regularly in winter - not heavily, but enough so that it does not lose its leaves completely. I water it heavily in summer. It seems to like that,, and has flowered. I've managed to keep it for 6 years so far, and it has flowered once; I acquired it as a seedling in 2...
