Indeed, some of the others get rather leggy and need to be re started to keep under control but flower nicely, I always think that bellum looks tidy even when it clumps up.

Re: HILDEWINTERAS

Another group of plants that I have not paid much attention to, they are quite spectacular.
Are the flowers a one night and fade on the next day short lived event like most Echinopsis or do they last any longer?

Re: Black BEF Pans - BEF Pot Archive

Interesting that Tony's pans do indeed show partly formed holes, nice to guess right once in a while. (tu)

Re: Black BEF Pans - BEF Pot Archive

Had a look and all I can see are two 8 1/2 pans one black and one terracotta. Both have holes with some sprue and both look to be set out in a neat pattern as though that is how they were moulded, perhaps the pans had a ghost holes laid out at a set PDC for the user to drill but these do look like t...

Re: Black BEF Pans - BEF Pot Archive

I am sure there were green ones as well.

Re: Echinocereus rigidissimus ssp. rubrispinus

Great flower on a nice plant. Unfortunatly I lost mine over this winter, that and a Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus, I know why the Ario died, the late flower rotted which spread to the plant, the Echinocereus just died which is a bit of a mystery. :(

Me too, the buds can take on the look of some alien species from a 1950's B movie.

The flowers are rather nice as well, though I have to say most of mine are not looking their best this year, certainly non as covered in flowers as those in Jean's pictures.
