Random Things in my Greenhouse
10 things of interest in my greenhouse today:
Sulcorebutia callecallensis
Rebutia fabrisii comes in many shades
Pterocactus sp.
Pterocactus skottsbergii
Lobivia schreiteri first flowering from seed
Amazing spines on Echinocereus engelmannii
Huge flowers on Hoya mcgillivrayi, almost 5cm across!
An unusual form of Aylostera supthutiana with a dark body and stripey flowers
This Aylostera pygmaea has a green tinge to the flowers
Another rarely seen Aylostera (A. sp. EH41) with pale outer petals and nice spines.
Finally! I got a flower on an Austrocactus! And what a flower it is!

Random?????????
Beautiful certainly
Beautiful certainly
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Good work Ralph and at least two / three weeks ahead of mine. Who would have thought Wales so sunny......
Seriously thou when did you start watering the Pterocactus to get them to flower so early?
