I posted this montage image some years ago, but this seems a good time to post again.

Re: Watering question

I certainly wouldn't water now, It's too cool and light levels are low. Let the plants have their well earned winters rest.

Re: What a bit of heat can do!

Nice display Chris!
My Mammillaria blossfeldiana seems to have been flowering non stop for some time now, a good little plant.

Re: Flowering now - Blossfeldia

From my experience growing these cute little plants, their growth habit is completely different when grafted. Clumping more readily & having a lush green body. They flower well though!

Re: ELK 2013

ELK is always well worth a visit either for the day or the full 3 days. I've attended for several years now and always arrive on Friday and leave Sunday morning. As well as being the best event for buying plants from many nurseries across Europe it is also a great place to catch up with friends over...

Very sad news indeed. I met Vic on several occasions and was always a pleasure to catch up on the past months.
My condolences to his family RIP.
