Re: Picture
It's good to see your greenhouse is as crowded as mine, a good selection of stuff in there. What is the two tiered cactus at the back? The self-seeded Euphorbia obesa is really impressive and, I imagine, even bigger than some people's carefully cultivated ones. Would the Mammillaria be M microhelia?

Re: Picture
Thanks all for kind comments. Yes Tina, its pectinifera with odd growth at apex lol. and for Liz the large Mamm. is bombycina. Due to its size,and the bowl its in is falling apart, it is one of the most neglected plant (watering) that I have. 99% ot the water ends up on the bench, perhaps the lack of moisture is a better requirement for the E. obesa as it seems to thrive on this cultivation. Cheers ps will try to put up a pic of the Mamm.

Re: Picture
Mamm. bombycina, thriving on neglect, which is a pity as it is a lovely plant. Due to its size and weight I find it difficult to lift and move,with a bit of TLC is would be a much better specimen I think. Cheers

Re: Picture
Thanks for nice comment Ray, one of my pet hates is an empty space on the benches LoL. I always wondered what would be the optimum number of plants we should grow and grow all to perfection. Due to lack of space I tend not to re pot as often as i should, as I know the plants buck up no end when put in fresh compost and correct size pot. Cheers
