Sorry, Eric, I can't remember. That plant had been hanging around for years with bits falling off at different times until, last year, it decided to excel itself:

No, those are not mealies on the flowers - fly eggs and newly hatched maggots:

Nothing to do with stapeliads, but the title looks right.

If I have two independent plants with the same habitat collection numbers (bought from Toobees a while back), and I obtain loads of seed by cross pollinating them, in what way should I describe that seed, and the plants I raise from it?

On a seed topic, are there any problems in sending off for seed from Mesa Garden these days?

[Eric Williams]

Exellent pictures, to go with a great plant. Cheers

OK, so I missed the grand opening! It won't catch me out next year - no flowers this year!

[FairyCastles]

Wow.
If mine is a Fairy Castles, surely yours is Ghostly Castles?!

That is one pretty plant!

Any chance of getting some of the seeds for this? If not no worries! :-)
