M. boolii is rather special too.
Seeing my old photos, I really must propagate these lovely mamms again.

I have bought plants of this species before, but they did not make it :(

How long will it take before they flower from seed?

Thank you for sharing your picture...

You have cared for them well, obviously. It's good to know that I may expect flowers in 4 years from now :geek:
Maybe you can post some photos of your flowers later? :)

Nice flowers. Not especially pretty without flowers. Start flowering quite small though. Can be touchy, probably want treating harder than I tend to, and more heat.

These are my two 4 year olds, with collection number MH46 from San Carlos.
Must admit, they don't look as good as Ian's and Ali's!
I do also have a much older plant which is looking pretty god at the moment.
