Not too shabby this Lobivia aff. culpinensis JK367 (Succseed, 2011)

What did you graft on Nobby? Austrocactus?

Here are my post-sulphuric seedlings - lots of chances to perfect grafting, having only managed one Eriosyce laui so far. But what stock?

Thanks for this interesting travelogue Dave.

It's nice to make sense of some names/descriptions and see the plants in situ.
Keep it coming if you have more.

No Ariocarpus habitats in Michigan, where Ford say they will now invest...

Eriosyce aerocarpa fulva
Echinocereus rigidissimus rubrispinus albiflora

Eric - this year I tried neem oil as a preventive measure against mites out of despair at other treatment failures.
I did not want oil/detergent emulsion on my plants after past damage, so I used it as a soil drench.

So far so good......

Anyone else using neem as a soil drench?

Thanks both for the name info, and yes Tony these Tunilla are worth their space when they flower
