Re: Rose of Texas?
The BCSS list usually has some Lithops. The place to go for lots is the Mesemb Study Group, although the seed list tends to come out a little too late in the spring compared to when I like to sow. But Brugge lives in France at the looks of it, so the BCSS and MSG (although MSG does organise a bulk ...

Re: Rose of Texas?
Are Lithops easy to grow from seed? some beutifull looking flowers there. How long would it take from seed to get them to flower like that. Slow, but not hard in the right conditions. Germination is usually quick and easy, then just have to have some patience. The main risk would be boiling them fr...

Re: Rose of Texas?
These are catalogued as being from BCSS seed, although that would make them a slightly improbable eight years old. Also not very easy to get more of the same.

Curious Lithops
This Lithops got its flower stuck. It has now been many weeks and I don't think it is going to unstick itself for this flowering season. groendrayensis-1004.jpg L. lesliei 'Albinica' is pigment-deficient in the leaves, the flowers, and also its startling green buds. albinica-1004.jpg This eager beav...

Re: Rose of Texas?
I've had all sorts of colours coming up from 'Rose of Texas' seed, but a batch seems to be either all fairly good pink or all not. This looks like a good batch.

Re: Importing seeds from the EU to the UK
I ordered seeds from 2 German suppliers earlier this year, both listed which seeds could not be sent to the UK. 1 sent them out straight away no problem no extra costs the other sent an email to tell me the phyto. cert. would be 20 euro. Yet both orders were very similar. Not much chance of foreign...

Re: Killermite bug treatment
Abamectin is "translaminar", which means it is persistent and mobile within the surface of the plant, but not fully systemic. It is highly effective against mites, also effective on some insects I've used it and it works well against flat mites.

Re: Cactus mites
It's definitely them and and they must have been there for a while. I can see them moving under the microscope, I have spotted them on three pots with seedlings. The damage is not really noticeable with the naked eye, just a slight orange discolouration. I can't go round every pot with a microscope...
